Let's Misbehave
Let's Misbehave
Composer(s): Cole Porter
First release by: Irving Aaronson & His Commanders - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists
We're all alone, no chaperone
Can get our number
The world's in slumber
Let's misbehave
There's something wild about you child
Thats so contageous
Let's be outrageous
Let's misbehave
When Adam won Eve's hand
He wouldn't stand for teasin'
He didn't care about those apples out of season
They say the Spring
Means just one thing to little lovebirds
We're not above birds
Let's misbehave
Let's misbehave
Let's misbehave
If you'd be just so sweet
And only meet your fate, dear
It would be the great event of 1928, dear
Let's misbehave
Let's misbehave

Let's Go Fly A Kite
Composer(s): Richard Sherman - Robert Sherman
First release by: David Tomlinson & Dick Van Dyke - 1964
Covered by multiple other artists
With a tuppence for paper and string
You can have your own set of wings
With your feet on the ground you're a bird in flight
With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh
Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear
Oh let's go fly a kite
When you send it flying up there
All at once you're lighter than air
You can dance with the breeze over houses and trees
With your fist holding tight to the string of your kite
Oh, oh, oh
Let's go fly a kite up to the highest height
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere, up where the air is clear
Oh let's go fly a kite

Broken Arrow
Broken Arrow
Composer(s): Robbie Robertson
Originally performed by: Robbie Robertson
Covered by: Rod Stewart
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
Do you feel what I feel
Can we make it so that's part of the deal
I gotta hold you in these arms of steel
Lay your heart on the line this time
I wanna breathe when you breathe
When you whisper like that hot summer breeze
Count the beads of sweat that cover me
Didn't you show me a sign this time
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around, around
Do you feel what I feel
Do you feel what I feel
Ah can you see what I see
Can you cut behind the mystery
I will meet you by the witness tree
Leave the whole world behind
I want to come when you call
I'll get to you if I have to crawl
They can't hold me with these iron walls
We got mountains to climb, to climb
Who else is gonna bring you a broken arrow
Who else is gonna bring you a bottle of rain
There he goes moving across the water
There he goes turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around
turning my whole world around

Let's Mend What's Been Broken
Let's Mend What's Been Broken
Composer(s): Gene McFadden - Jerry Cohen - John Whitehead
Performer(s): Gloria Gaynor
We started out with a new love
And we thought we had more control
And as it turned to an old love
Bad times started to unfold
Now I don't want to let you go
And I don't want it to ever end
So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken
Let's put it back together again
Ooh, we've got to
Let's mend what's been broken
You and me, me and you
Let's mend what's been broken
Ooh, yeah
Now I'm not ready for new love
'Cause you make my life so complete
And if there's any problem
I know we won't suffer deeply
'Cause I don't want to let you go
I don't want it to ever end
So if feelings have been torn and if hearts have been broken
Let's put it back together again
Uh - huh, we've got to
Let's mend what's been broken
Me and you, you and me
Let's mend what's been broken
Ooh, yeah
Don't throw it all away
Let's keep this love in every way
Mend my heart, my achin' heart
The thought of a brand new start tears me all apart
The love we've got, don't let it end
We can put it back together again
{And let's do it}
{Let's do it}
Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}
Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}
{Let's do it}
{Let's do it}
{Let's do it}
{Let's do it}
{Let's do it}
{Let's get to it}
Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}
You and me
Let's mend what's been broken {Let's get to it}
I know our love has got to be

Let's Go Crazy
Let's Go Crazy
Composer(s): Prince
First release by: Prince and The Revolution - 1984
Covered by multiple other artists
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
2 get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here 2 tell u
There's something else
The afterworld
A world of never ending happiness
U can always see the sun, day or night
So when u call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
U know the one - Dr Everything'll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cuz in this life
Things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life
You're on your own
And if de-elevator tries 2 bring u down
Go crazy - punch a higher floor
If u don't like the world you're living in
Take a look around u
At least u got friends
U see I called my old lady
4 a friendly word
She picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
(Sex, sex) is all I heard
Are we gonna let de-elevator
Bring us down
Oh, no Let's Go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cuz
We're all gonna die
And when we do (When we do)
What's it all 4 (What's it all 4)
U better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door
Tell me, are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look 4 the purple banana
'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!
C'mon baby
Let's get nuts
Yeah
Crazy
Let's go crazy
Are we gonna let de-elevator bring us down
Oh, no let's go!
Go crazy
I said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go, let's go
Go
Let's go
Dr. Everything'll be alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and dafodills will kill
Hang tough children
He's coming
He's coming
Coming
Take me away!

Broken
Broken
Composer(s): Burton Cummings; Kurt Winter
Performer(s): The Guess Who
Take the spell away and turn me back into a man
An' give me credit, ya know I'm doin' all I can
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
So bring your soul to me and leave it here for just a while
Show the end to me and see if I can fake a smile
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
I don't have to fear, nobody else is here
Don't have to see, I know what I wanna be
Don't have to make an explanation to you
It's true, the deeper the drillin' goes
Shows how much the best of the better knows
That's why the bird with the broken wing never flew
And I've been broken too
Just like you
Grab onto somethin' that you think you can hold
Grab onto somethin' 'cause you're growin' old
Yes, I've been broken too
Yes, I've been broken too
Just like you
So bring your soul to me

(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)
(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)

We met at a party last week
And the moment your eyes looked into mine
Right then, my lips forgot how to speak
And the soda started tastin' like wine
(How I wish everyone would go home)
(So I could say when I got you alo-o-o-one)
C'mon now!

(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)
(I can't wait to kiss you)
Oh, no!

We started to talk and you smiled
Sorta like you knew the way that I felt
You moved a little closer in a while
And I knew my heart was startin' to melt
(There was-a so much I wanted to say)
(But all the words came out this wa-a-a-ay)
C'mon now!
(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)
(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)
(I can't wait to kiss you)
Oh, no!
(One little minute more)
(Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh-No!)
(Oh, yeah N!)
(Oh, yeah Ahh!)
(I'll kiss your lips like a kiss oughta be)
(And then I know you'll be sayin' to me-e-e-e)
C'mon now!
(Let's lock the door and throw away the key now)
(shom-dooby-dom, dooby-dom-dom)
(I can't wait to kiss you)
Oh, no!

Let's Give Love A Chance
Let’s Give Love A Chance
Composer(s): Carl Sigman - George W. Meyer - Marty Symes
Performer(s): Art Lund; Benny Goodman
Let’s give love a chance
Let’s not rush to break up
There is always time to say we’re through
I don’t think we’re giving love a chance, do you?
Let’s give love a chance
There’s so much to take up
Darling, with our hearts against the wall
I don’t think we’re giving love a chance at all
We can just merely hold something dearly
Then let it go so casually
I think sincerely, if we think clearly
We’ll never set each other free
So let’s save our romance
While we still can save it
While the music plays, why stop a dance
Darling let’s be fair
And let’s give love a chance

Brokedown Palace
Brokedown Palace
Composer(s): Jerry Garcia; Robert Hunter
Performer(s): Grateful Dead
and various other artists
Fare you well, my honey, fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing are flown, except you alone
Going to leave this brokedown palace
On my hand and knees, I will roll, roll, roll
Make myself a bed in the waterside
In my time, I will roll, roll roll
In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
River going to take me, sing sweet and sleepy
sing me sweet and sleepy all the way back home
It's a far gone lullaby, sung many years ago
Mama, mama many worlds I've come since I first left home
Goin' home, goin' home, by the riverside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul
Going to plant a weeping willow
On the bank's green edge it will grow, grow, grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go, the river roll, roll, roll
Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul

When I think of all the worries people seem to find

And I don't need to hurry as long as I'm with you

You'll be my lovin' woman, I'll be your lovin' man
We'll take the most from living, have pleasure while we can (2-3-4)

Let's Give Adam And Eve Another Chance
Let's Give Adam And Eve Another Chance
Composer(s): Richard Mainegra
Performer(s): Gary Puckett & the Union Gap
He raised his hand and said they'll need a place to stand
and created what we now call the land
He raised his hand and said they'll need a place to fly
and created what we now call the sky
And then he gave life to a man and a woman and said
"The rest is in your hands
Let's Give Adam And Eve Another Chance
to bring their chidren back together
Let's Give Adam And Eve Another Chance
to show us how to love one another!
to show us how to love one another
So many years have passed since these two people loved
three billion represent the children of his love
And too many tears have fallen from the eyes of the people
for whom his son has died
Let's Give Adam And Eve Another Chance
to bring their chidren back together
Let's Give Adam And Eve Another Chance
to show us how to love one another!
to show us how to love one another
When he created all the beauty that we see
I know he had in mind a betterlife for you and me
But as we grow stronger more people hunger
just for the right to be free
Let's Give Adam And Eve Another Chance
to bring their chidren back together
Let's Give Adam And Eve Another Chance
to show us how to love one another!
to show us how to love one another

Dok zora pali dan
Na jarbol stiha svog
Ja dižem pjesmu tu
Za povratke vaše

Performer(s): Johnny Gill
You look sweet as ever
Just how I picture you
Swear that you're looking better
And thats so hard to do
Girl I hope you don't mind
If I remininsce all the time
When I was your guy and you were my girl
There was nobody else in my world
Let's get the mood right
Turn on your heart light
Put on that old red dress
Baby let's cruise
Baby it's your night
Blow out the candlelight
We're going out tonight
Just me and you
Guess there aint no denying
You just get better with time
You don't think I'm sincere
Let me make it perfectly clear
You still make me rise
With those sweet bedroom eyes
And how could I forget
How much I love the sex
And you're still the love of my life
When I think of our moments together
It just touches my heart
Don't you know it makes me wonder
How we could have fallen apart
Baby I swear from this moment on
I will be there
Keeping it going on
For the rest of my life
I'll be singing
My my my my my my
We're gonna cruise
yeah Baby let's cruise (Baby let's cruise)
Let's just get in the mood (Just me and you)
Baby let's cruise (I wanna cruise)

Broadway Rose
Composer(s): Victor Arden; Eugene West;
Martin Fried; Otis Spencer
Performer(s): Original Dixieland Jazz Band
and various other artists
A pretty flower grows along old Broadway
A mid'st the throng, gay life and song I found her drooping there
My heart went out to her I met on Broadway
A faded little rose, beneath the white light's glare
I think about the rose I saw on Broadway
Her listless face, her trembling gaze
Beneath the starry sky, I'm praying for a little rose on Broadway
Her sad and bitter tears, In mem'ry will be nigh
Broadway Rose, there's a tear in your eye
Broadway Rose, seems I oft' hear you sigh
though you wear fancy clothes and you show silken hose
you're alone, as they all pass you by
Broadway Rose, hide your cares in a smile
for to you tears have gone out of style
still at heart you're a gem
though the whole world condemn no one knows of your woes, Broadway Rose
