Lazzarelle
Lazzarelle
((Italian Version: Lazzarella (by Domenico Modugno))
Composer(s): Nadia Pazzaglia - Domenico Modugno - M. Treppiedi
Performer(s): Dalida
"Lazzarelle.. Où vas tu par là ?"
Tu peux dés qu'on t'observe jouer les vamps sur le vieux port
Chiper le rouge à lèvre de ta mère quand tu sors
Bomber si l'on s'arrête ton petit chandail de laine
Tu n'es pas encore prête d'égaler Sophia Loren
Lazzarelle
Oh! Lazzarelle de mon cœur tu voudrais faire du cinéma
Tu ferais mieux d'élever tes sœurs et faire la soupe à ta mama
On a raison d'appeler ainsi les mauvaises graines comme toi
Mais prend bien garde un beau jour si ton pauvre père t'aperçois
Oh! Lazzarelle ça fera des étincelles
Pan! pour ton rouge trop canaille
Pan! pour ton chandail en bataille
Ça va t'apprendre à vivre une bonne fois
Et puis pour que le compte y soit une autre pendant qu'il y est
Pour ton copain qui vient parfois t'attendre au bas de l'escalier
Mais pour la mauvaise graine faut croire qu'il existe un Dieu
Un grand metteur en scène fit séduit par tes beaux yeux
Et sur les magasines ton petit air effronté
Depuis ce jour voisine avec bien des célébrités
Lazzarelle
Oh lazzarelle de mon cœur tu es encore plus jolie
Dans ta petite jupe à fleurs quand tu parais ce n'est qu'un cri
Tous tes copains les samedis sont fiers de te voir sur l'écran
Surtout depuis qu'ils ont appris combien tu aimes tes parents
Ah! Lazzarelle tu leur fais la vie belle
Pour ton père un bateau de pèche
Pour ta mère une jolie calèche
Et pour tes quatre sœurs quatre coups de choix
Et puis pour que le compte y soit pour ton copain de l'escalier
Ton petit cœur comme il se doit puisque l'on va vous marier
Ce qui prouve que dans la vie
Malgré les gars qui tournent autour
Les lazzarelles d'Italie restent fidèles à leurs amours
Lazzarelle, lazzarelle mia

Benny Bullfrog
Benny Bullfrog
Composer(s): Chris Foreman; Lee Thompson
Performer(s): Madness
So there I am polished heart throat in full puff
I look the part my wad is packed to reimburse
I've yet to re-rehearse many moons spent on lovelines lent from
Long-legged pop-eyed fat-necked Benny Bullfrog
Final run-through polish up
The flower of love's my buttercup.
Moon in June for you I'll croon
Just like pop-eyed fat-necked Benny Bullfrog
Mean piece of muscle I'm Melvin Toad
I dice with death, across the road
Hop aboard my lover's leap
Fat-necked Quatermass
Who needs a Benny Bullfrog
Here she comes (Keep a cool head)
My legs numb (Keep a cool head)
I can't run (Keep a cool head)
High! My name's Hunky how d'you do
I catch a fly in one swoop
I catch a fly just for you
That's if you do want me to
But you're not hungry I know
A sixth sense gave me a clue
I know what else we can do
(You creep!)
Long-legged pop-eyed fat-necked Benny Bullfrog
Wish I was Benny Bullfrog
Cool as Benny Bullfrog
What's the secret, Bullfrog

Ma Lazzarella comme si'!?

e te pripare a di' stu "Sí"
ma dint''a cchiesa d''o Gesù!

Bennie And The Jets
Composer(s): Elton John; Bernie Taupin
Performer(s): Elton John
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong

Lazy Susan
Composer(s): Laura Nyro
Performer(s): Laura Nyro
Lazy flower, my, you've grown so tall
I have lost and loved him, you have seen it all
Lazy Susan, lazy through
hasn't got a think to do
Oh, but to sit there and light up the
hillside, sun-fried, black-eyed Sue
Lazy Susan, lazy through, all
the hills in love with you
Courted and cradled by Heaven and
hillside, sun-fried
black-eyed Sue, black-eyed
Sue, black-eyed
Black-eyed Sue, how happy you must be
Once, I too had someone loving me
Johnny, Johnny, warm and true
that's how I remember you
this morning, just as I found
you: up there on the hillside
with sun-fried, black-eyed
lazy Susan, Susan

Benjamin
Benjamin
Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry; Philemon Van Cauwenbergh
Originally performed by: Bobbie Gentry
Covered by: Louis Neefs; Helmut Lotti
Benjamin zei 'ik rijd naar ergens anders'
Om er nog wat zon te kloppen
Hier kan je 't niet verder schoppen
Dan een baan waar je moe van wordt
Samen reden wij naar Knokke-Zoete
Om er naar de zee te kijken
Maar er waren teveel rijken
En men kwam er al zon tekort
Nooit had ik een beter vriend als Benjamin
Hij houdt van reizen
Reizen zit er bij hem in van jongsaf aan
En op die wijze
Kwam ik hem toevallig tegen
Ergens zowat halverwege
En het feit dat ik ook wel eens wat wou zien
Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Wij dan maar naar Katelijne-Waver
Om tomaten te gaan plukken
Maar men moet zich daarbij bukken
En dat doet ons gewoonlijk pijn
Dus halfweg tussen Gent en Dendermonde
Bleven we gezellig hangen
Want we lieten ons daar vangen
Aan de zon in een liter wijn
Oh, nooit had ik een beter vriend als Benjamin
Hij houdt van reizen
Reizen zit er bij hem in van jongsaf aan
En op die wijze
Kwam ik hem toevallig tegen
Ergens zowat halverwege
En het feit dat ik ook wel eens wat wou zien
Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Toen zijn wij maar naar Mechelen gereden
Om er zaken te beginnen
Maar we mochten er niet binnen
Want men kent ons daar nog van toen
Dan maar weer terug naar Knokke-Zoete
Om er van de zon te dromen
Maar ze hadden ons zien komen
En men had er geen hulp vandien
Oh, nooit had ik een beter vriend als Benjamin
Hij houdt van reizen
Reizen zit er bij hem in van jongsaf aan
En op die wijze
Kwam ik hem toevallig tegen
Ergens zowat halverwege
En het feit dat ik ook wel eens wat wou zien
Dat maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Dat maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin
Maakte mij tot vriend van Benjamin

Lazy River
Lazy River
Composer(s): Sidney Arodin - Hoagy Carmichael
First release by: Hoagy Carmichael - 1930
Covered by multiple other artists
I like lazy weather, I like lazy days
Can't be blamed for having lazy ways
Some old lazy river sleeps beside my door
Whisp'ring to the sunlit shore
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
Lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles
Dream with me
Up a lazy river where the robin’s song
Wakes the mornin’
We’ll roll along
May be blue skies ’bove
Everyone’s in love
Up a lazy river
How happy we’ll be
Up a lazy river with me
Up a lazy river by the old mill run
That lazy lazy river in the noon day sun
You can linger for awhile in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles baby
Dream a dream of me
Up a lazy river where the robin’s song
Wakes a brand new mornin’
Where we can roll along
There may be blue skies up above
But as long as we’re in love
Yeah we’ll be up a lazy river
How happy we could be
Up a lazy river with me
Oh that half way mark yeah
Up a lazy river where that robin’s song
Awakes a brand new mornin’
We can roll along
There are blue skies up above
And as long as we’re in love
We’ll be up a lazy river
Up a crazy lazy river
Up a lazy river
I ain’t goin’ your way get out of my way
Up a lazy river with me

Beneden Alle Peil
Beneden Alle Peil
English & French Titles:
Not Up To Scratch; J'aime Pas Ça Chez Toi
Originally performed by: Boudewijn de Groot
Covered by various other artists
Jouw armen liefste zijn niet om te slaan
Je moet je handen niet tot vuisten maken
Je ogen hoeven niet zo hard te staan
Ontspan die harde lijnen om je kaken
Je lichaam lief is zacht om aan te raken
Maar jij denkt enkel aan je eigen heil
Jij denkt alleen maar aan je eigen zaken
En dat is toch beneden alle peil
Bekijk jezelf en lach, je zachte arm
Is voor mijn hoofd gemaakt om op te rusten
Je borst als veilig kussen houdt me warm
Maar warmer zijn je lippen die me kusten
Zo wekte je één voor één mijn andere lusten
Maar jij dacht aan een ander onderwijl
Waarmee je zonder moeite je geweten suste
En dat is toch beneden alle peil
Mijn liefde was de inzet voor jouw spel
Door mij liet jij je ijdelheid graag strelen
Je wilde niet, dan wilde je weer wel
Ik was verblind, ik liet maar met me spelen
Je liet je zo maar door een ander stelen
En mijn geluk ging zo maar voor de bijl
Maar mijn verdriet kon jou niet zoveel schelen
En dat was toch beneden alle peil
Prinsheerlijk lig je in een anders bed
En maakt hem met je lichaam dwaas en dronken
Wat in geen enkel opzicht jou belet
Achter zijn rug om weer naar mij te lonken
Bedriegen ligt nu eenmaal in jouw stijl
Je hebt je in 't geheim aan mij geschonken
Maar het is toch wel beneden alle peil

Lazy Mary you better get up
She answered back I am not able

You’d better marry a fireman
He'll come and go, go and come
Sempe la pompa mane tene

Beneath, Between & Behind
Beneath, Between & Behind
Composer(s): Alex Lifeson; Neil Peart
Performer(s): Rush; String Quartet
Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe
A wondrous dream came into being
Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste
All shining eyes, but never seeing
[Chorus:]
Beneath the noble bird
Between the proudest words
Behind the beauty, cracks appear
Once with heads held high
They sang out to the sky
Why do their shadows bow in fear?
Watch the cities rise
Another ship arrives
Earth's melting pot and ever growing
Fantastic dreams come true
Inventing something new
The greatest minds, and never knowing
[Chorus]
The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now
The principles have been betrayed
The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail
History's debt won't be repaid
[Chorus]

Beneath The Lights Of Home (aka In A Little Old Sleepy Town)
Composer(s): Bernie Grossman; Walter Jurmann
Performer(s): Deanne Durbin
I can see the lights of home
Shining brightly o'er the foam
Beckon to me while I roam
Away from the lights of home
In that little old sleepy town
Nothing happens after the sun goes down
Nothing but moonbeams roam around
Beneath the lights of home
Turn the hands of time for me
Let me live in my memory
Once again I long to be
Beneath the lights of home

Beneath A Desert Moon
Beneath A Desert Moon
Composer(s): Sting
Performer(s): Sting
From the mountains on the moon to the mighty delta
From the deserts of the West to the shining sea
Beneath the canopy of stars flows the serpent river
Flowing through my father's land that he left to me
From the baker, to the priest, to the candle maker
From the highest to the low in my father's land
We make our offer to the sun 'fore the break of morning
Or else everything we have will just turn to sand
I have a lot to ask
I have a lot that I need to say
I have so much do
And all I need is another day
From the soldier, to the scribe, to the carpet maker
All the different colored threads in a carpet loom
A woven tapestry of life is our mighty nation
This is the writing on the wall of my father's tomb
We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much do
And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon, I call you
beneath the desert moon, I sing
beneath the desert moon, so lonely
I'm just a boy who would be king
With just the moon to guide us
We sometimes lose our way
If there's a light inside us
We'll follow it to the brightness of the day
Every single blade of grass, every yellow flower
Every ripple on the sea of the blue, blue Nile
Every leaf on every tree, every single creature
From the smallest little bird, to the crocodile
We have a lot to ask
We have a lot that we need to say
We have so much do
And all we need is another day
Beneath the desert moon, I call you
beneath the desert moon, we sing
beneath the desert moon, we're waiting
Before the coming of the king
Beneath the desert moon that's sinking
We see the Eastern sky's on fire
This is where darkness leaves
And shining waters fall
And let the shadows run
And we'll say, "welcome to the sun"

Blue Skies, sunshine, what a day to take a walk in the park
Ice Cream, daydream til the sky becomes a blanket of stars
What a day for picking daisies and lots of red balloons
And what a day for holdin' hands and being with you
Lazy Day, just right for lovin' away
Lazy Day, made for a stroll in the lane
Baby, you and me (baby, you and me)
And the honeybee (neath the shady tree)
Lazy Day, Lazy Day, Lazy Day for you and me
Blue skies, sunshine, flowers bloomin', children sayin' "Hello"
Rowboats, bird notes, People smilin' everywhere that we go
What a day to be together, and what a sky of blue
And what a day for thinkin' right out loud "I love you"
