And will humbly remain
Just heed this plea, my love
On bended knee my love
I pledge myself to Lady Jane
My dear Lady Anne
I've done what I can
I must take my leave
For promised I am
This play is run, my love
Your time has come, my love
I pledge my troth to Lady Jane
Oh, my sweet Marie
I wait at your ease
The sands have run out
For your lady and me
Wedlock is nigh, my love
Her station's right, my love
Life is secure with Lady Jane

Bambino, Bambino ne pleure pas, Bambino
Les yeux battus la mine triste
et les joues blêmes
Tu ne dors plus
Tu n'es plus que l'ombre de toi-même
Seul dans la rue tu rôdes
Comme une âme en peine
Et tous les soirs sous sa fenêtre
on peut te voir
Je sais bien que tu l'adores
Et qu'elle a de jolies yeux
Mais tu es trop jeune encore
Pour jouer les amoureux
Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline
mon petit Bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
que tout le ciel de l'Italie
Et canta, canta de ta voix câline
mon petit Bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Avec tes cheveux si blonds
Tu as l'air d'un chérubin
Va plutôt jouer au ballon
Comme font tous les gamins
Tu peux fumer comme un Monsieur des cigarettes
Te déhancher sur le trottoir quand tu la guettes
Tu peux pencher sur ton oreille, ta casquette
Ce n'est pas ça, qui dans son cœur, te vieillira
L'amour et la jalousie ne sont pas des jeux d'enfant
Et tu as toute la vie pour souffrir comme les grands
Et gratte, gratte sur ta mandoline
Mon petit Bambino
Ta musique est plus jolie
que tout le ciel de l'Italie
Et canta, canta de ta voix câline
mon petit Bambino
Tu peux chanter tant que tu veux
Elle ne te prend pas au sérieux
Si tu as trop de tourments ne les garde pas pour toi
Va le dire à ta maman les mamans c'est fait pour ça
Et là, blotti dans l'ombre douce de ses bras
Pleure un bon coup et ton chagrin s'envolera

The Lady In Red
Performer(s): Desi Arnaz (aka Ricky Ricardo)
Oh the lady in red is as fresh as a daisy when the town is in bed
Dancing and dining and shining with originality
She's very proper
She's nothing more than a pal
Oh me and oh my
You'll never stop her
She'll be a dangerous gal
If she ever met the right guy
Oh the lady in red
The fellas are crazy for the lady in red
She's a bit gaudy but lord what a pretty personality
Say have you ever met the girl who's the toast of the town
A work of art without a question
You better write her number down, you fools

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance
I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your head that catch your eyes I have been blind
The lady in red is dancing with me cheek to cheek
There's nobody here, it's just you and me, It's where I wanna be
But I hardly know this beauty by my side
I'll never for get, the way you look tonight
I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side
And when you turned to me and smiled, It took my breath away
I have never had such a feeling
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight
The way you look tonight
I never will forget, the way you look tonight
The lady in red
The lady in red
The lady in red
My lady in red (I love you)

Lady In Black
Lady In Black
Composer(s): Ken Hensley
First release by: Uriah Heep - 1971
She came to me one morning
One lonely Sunday morning
Her long hair flowing
In the midwinter wind
I know not how she found me
For in darkness I was walking
And destruction lay around me
From a fight I could not win
Ah ah ah ...
She asked me name my foe then
I said the need within some men
To fight and kill their brothers
Without thought of love or God
And I begged her give me horses
To trample down my enemies
So eager was my passion
To devour this waste of life
Ah ah ah ...
But she wouldn't think of battle that
Reduces men to animals
So easy to begin
And yet impossible to end
For she's the mother of our men
Who counselled me so wisely then
I feared to walk alone again
And asked if she would stay
Ah ah ah ...
Oh lady lend your hand outright
And let me rest here at your side
Have faith and trust
In peace she said
And filled my heart with life
There is no strength in numbers
Have no such misconception
But when you need me
Be assured I won't be far away
Ah ah ah ...
Thus having spoke she turned away
And though I found no words to say
I stood and watched until I saw
Her black coat disappear
My labour is no easier
But now I know I'm not alone
I find new heart each time
I think upon that windy day
And if one day she comes to you
Drink deeply from her words so wise
Take courage from her
As your prize
And say hello from me
Ah ah ah ...

Baltimore
Baltimore
Composer(s): Boudleaux Bryant - Felice Bryant
Performer(s): Sonny James
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore
I ain’t found nothin’ I’m a-looking for
And I wanna go back to Baltimore
I miss my dinghy on the Chesapeake shore
The shrimp and the shad fish I adore
And I wanna go back to Baltimore
Well, I left home about ten months ago
‘Cause I was tired of my status quo
I said I’m sick of this dead-haired town
I’m gonna cut out and have a look around
That was my first mistake
For a while I was living real hole in the hog
Having more fun than a pedigree dog
For long though, my loot ran low
And I said, “oh well, I’ll be a hobo”
That was my second mistake
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore
I ain’t found nothing I’m looking for
And I want to go back to Baltimore
Well I starved in Chicago and Kalamazoo
Went down to Atlanta an’ I starved there too
I met a lot of girls but you can’t make time
When you’re knockin’on a back door
And begging for a dime
I know – I tried it
I looked for my fortune as hard as I could
But you can’t find a fortune chopping up wood
So I’ll admit, though I’ll lose a lot of face
That my own back yard was a heck of a place
Baltimore – good old Baltimore
My shirt is ragged and my pants are tore
I ain’t found nothin’ I’m a-looking for
And I wanna go back to Baltimore
I miss my dinghy on the Chesapeake shore
The shrimp and the shad fish I adore
And I wanna go back to Baltimore
Fetch me a train
Flag me down a Simmer
Man, I don’t care
I gotta get back

Lady Godiva's Operation
Lady Godiva's Operation
Composer(s): Lou Reed
First release by: The Velvet Underground - 1968
Lady Godiva here dressed so demurely
Pats the head of another curly hair boy, just another toy
Sick with silence she weeps sincerly
Saying words that have oh so clearly been said
So long ago
Draperies wrapped gently around her shoulder
Life has made her that much bolder now
That she’s found out how
Dressed in silk, latin, lace and envy
Pride and joy of the latest funny faire
Pretty passing care
Hair today now dipped in the water
Making love to every poor daughter’s son
Isn’t it fun
Now today propping frace with envy
Lady Godiva peers to see if anyone’s there
And hasn’t a care
Doctor is coming the nurse thinks sweetly
Turning on the machine and neatlypump air
The body lies bare
Shaed and hairless what onces was screaming
Now lies silent and almost sleeping
The brain must have gone away
Strapped securely to the white table
Ether caused the body to wither and writhe
Underneath the wight light
Doctor arrives with knife and baggage
Sees the growth as just so much cabbage
That now
Must be cut away
Now comes the moment of great! great! decision!
The doctor is making his first incision!
One goes here - one goes there
The ether tubes leaking says someone who’s sloppy
Patient it seems is not so well sleeping
The screams echo up the hall
Don’t panic someone give him pentathol instantly
Doctor removes his blade
Cagily so from the brain
By m count of ten
The head won’t move

Balm In Gilead
Balm In Gilead
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Harry Belafonte
and multiple other artists
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
Sometimes I feel discouraged
And think my work's in vain
But then the Holy Spirit
Revives my soul again
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul
If you can't pray like Peter
If you can't pray like Paul
Go home and tell your neighbor
"He died to save us all"
There is a balm in Gilead
To make the wounded whole
There is a balm in Gilead
To heal the sin-sick soul

Lady Godiva
Lady Godiva
Composer(s): Gordon Mills - Mike Leander
Performer(s): Peter & Gordon
and multiple other artists
Seventeen, a beauty queen
She made a ride that caused a scene
In the town
Her long blonde hair
Hangin' down around her knees
All the cats who dig striptease
Prayin' for a little breeze
Her long blonde hair
Falling down across her arms
Hiding all the lady's charms
Lady Godiva
She found fame and made her name
A hollywood director came into town
And said to her
"How'd you like to be a star?"
"You're a girl that could go far"
"'specially dressed the way you are"
She smiled at him
Gave her pretty head a shake
That was Lady G's mistake
A-hey-hey-hey
Lady Godiva
He directs certificate 'X'
And people now are craning their necks
To see her
'cause she's a star
One that everybody knows
Finished with the striptease shows
Now she can't afford her clothes
Her long blonde hair
Lyin' on the barber's floor
Doesn't need it long anymore
Lady Godiva

And the girl in the corner is ev'ryone's mourner

Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz

Lady Fuchsia
Lady Fuchsia
Composer(s): John Ford - Richard Hudson
Performer(s): The Strawbs
A child denied all love can't weep
But bravely bears her life alone
So Fuchsia as you try to sleep
You dream of friends you've never known
In troubled years when no-one cared
You searched for comfort everywhere
For heavy burdens never shared
Became too much for one to bear
So much to give
But those who live
Don't know of you
Your fantasy
Of love to be
Cannot come true
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Now poised above the castle walls
You look your last on lonely skies
Night owls pray for you as they call
Returning ere the dawn shall rise
Your loveless life
Has led you here
Not knowing why
Your troubled mind's
No longer clear
To live or die
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Oh Lady Fuchsia
Oh Lady Fuchsia

Balloons
Balloons
Performer(s): Sally Oldfield
I remember the day when I was the night
And the sun was my eyes in the moon
But I changed into day and the night flew away
And I sang to my lover the moon
I remember the sound when my hair felt the ground
And the words that were written on you
But you were not there so I slept on the stair
And you came in a lemon balloon
Who are you?
I remember the breeze and the soft creamy cheese
That we gave to the dowes on the lawn
But the grass was so green that it soaked up the cream
And the dowes flew away and were gone
But I saw the smiles that were deep in their eyes
And saw the joke was on you but I could not laugh
I went back to the grass and you came in a rainbow balloon
Who are you?

She left twenty-nine broken hearts
Broken in twenty-nine parts

Around the lady from 29 Palms

A new kinda gal of the west

Performer(s): Judy Garland & Gene Kelly
and multiple other artists
From coast to coast
From Canada to Mexico
They're doin' a new dance
A tried-and-a-true dance
That will sweep the land
And you'll think it's so grand
You'll have to learn how to do it
So please don't boo woo it
Coz we've got this little dance
That's gonna rise to fame
It's sure to put most any other dance to shame
The turkey-trot, the bunny-hug, the tickley-toe
Will be forgotten when we start to go!
Mr. Leader, won't you start the syncopation?
And we'll begin our little demonstration...
Now, first you put your two knees
Close up tight
Then you sway it to the left
Then you sway it to the right
Step around the floor kind of nice and light
Then you twist around and twist around
With all of your might
Stretch your lovin' arms straight out in space
Then you do the eagle rock with style and grace
Swing your foot way round and bring it back
Now that's what I call ballin' the jack!

Lady Divine
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
Oh toi ma foudre blanche
Je ne pouvais pas te respirer
Pourtant tu vois je flanche
Quand j'ai trop besoin d'oublier
Mes blues et mes déprimes
Tout s'envole en fumée
Tu me tiens par le rêve
Tu me tiens pas le bout du nez
Oh ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Ouais, lady, lady, lady ma divine
Oh toi ma stupéfiante
La seule qui sait me chouchouter
Tu es trop excitante
Et tu sais si bien m'énerver
Mes peurs et puis mon spleen
Tu peux tout effacer
Tu me prends à tes lignes
Tu me tiens par le bout du nez
Oh ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Oh ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
J'n'ai pas un gramme d'excuse
Je suis coupable de t'aimer
Et tous ceux qui m'accusent
N'ont jamais du te rencontrer
Mon envie ma détresse
Mon secret mon pécher
Ma folie mon ivresse
Mais où veux-tu donc m'emmener
Oh ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine
Ouais, lady, lady, lady ma divine
Lady, lady, lady ma divine...

Balliamo
Balliamo
Performer(s): Lucio Dalla
Balliamo, ed ha tanto tempo che non lo facciamo
Balliamo c'e la musica che piace pure a te
Andiamo, questa sera sono in vena di follie
Noi due stretti, stretti come tanto tempo fa
Che scena, più ti guardo e piu mi sembri una regina
Sei stupenda nei tuo abito da sera
Cosi bella non ti avevo vista mai
Sei grande quando dici che tu ami l'incosciente
Più grande quando a me dici che anche tu mi vuoi così
D'accordo, ho un carattere che un pò particolare
E pure dimmi chi tu puo capire più di me?
Balliamo sempre scritta per noi due questa canzone
è una storia que assomiglia al nostro amore
un'amore messo pazzo come me
Palliamo, no vorrei che fosse lùltima canzone
Tre minuti per convincerti che è amore
La, la la la la la ...
