Magnolias For Ever


Magnolias For Ever
Composer(s): Jean-Pierre Bourtayre;
Claude François; Étienne Roda-Gil
Performer(s): Claude François



Your girl is crying in the night
Is she wrong or is she right
Je ne peux plus rien y faire
Your girl is shining in the night
Burning burning burning bright
Je ne sais plus comment faire

Dites-lui que je suis comme elle
Que j'aime toujours les chansons
Qui parl'nt d'amour et d'hirondelles
De chagrin, de vent, de frissons
Dites-lui que je pense à elle
Quand on me parle de magnolias
Quand j'entends ces musiqu's nouvelles
Qui résonn'nt comm' des bruits de combats
Your girl is crying in the night
Is she wrong, is she right
Je ne sais plus comment faire
Elle est si forte qu'elle se brise
Elle était fière elle est soumise
Comme un amour qui lâche prise
Qui casse et ne plie pas
Tu lui ressembles
Quand elle tremble
Et dans ta voix
J'entends parfois
Un peu sa voix
Elle te ressemble
Quand elle tremble
Quand elle pleure
Là dans le cœur
Des arbres en fleurs

Dites-lui que j'ai peur pour elle
Dans les sous-sols quand il fait noir
Quand j'entends ces musiques nouvelles
Où s'en vient crier le désespoir
Dites-lui que je pense à elle
Dans un grand champ de magnolias
Et que si tout's les fleurs sont belles
Je me brûl' souvent souvent les doigts
Des magnolias par centaines
Des magnolias comme autrefois
Je ne sais plus comment faire
Les magnolias sont toujours là
Elle ressemble à toutes les filles
Quand elles aiment comme ça
Qu'elles soient méchantes ou timides
Pauvres violettes ou magnolias
Elle aime les grands ciels humides
Et les déserts où il fait froid
Parfois elle pleure quand j'arrive
Et elle rit quand elle s'en va
Si tu t'en vas dans la tempête
Si tu t'en vas tu la verras
Dites-lui que je suis comme elle
Que j'aime toujours les chansons
Qui parl'nt d'amour et d'hirondelles...

Little Boxes


Little Boxes
((Danish Version: Pæne Æsker (by Per Dich) - 1966))
Composer(s): Malvina Reynolds
First release by: Pete Seeger - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



Little boxes on the hill side, little boxes made of ticky tacky
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky, and they all look just the same

And the people in the houses all went to the university
Where they were put in boxes, little boxes, all the same
And there's doctors and there's lawyers, and there's business executives
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same

And they all play on the golf course and drink their martini dry
And they all have pretty children and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they all get put in boxes and they all come out the same

And the boys go into business and marry and raise a family
In boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same

Magnolia


Magnolia
Composer(s): J.J. Cale
Originally performed by: J.J. Cale
Covered by various other artists



Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You whisper "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there

Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Jeep


Little Bo Peep Has Lost Her Jeep
Composer(s): Frank De Vol - Jerry Browne
Performer(s): Spike Jones



Private Jackson had a girl
He fondly called Bo Peep
Now Jackson didn't have a car
So drove by in a jeep

They took a ride, the time flew by
And Bo Peep was in Heaven
'Til Jackson cried, "Bo Peep,
This jeep's gotta be in camp by eleven"

So little Bo Peep has lost her jeep
And don't know where to find it
Her soldier boy took it back to camp
And left Bo Peep behind it

It didn't have doors, the seats were hard
But Bo Peep never minded
It didn't ride like a Cadillac
She wondered who designed it

Roller coasters nearly killed her
Aeroplanes they never thrilled her
But with Jackson at the wheel
She got that jeep, jeep, jeep appeal

Now little Bo Peep wants to find her jeep
And find her soldier chappy
If he comes chug-chuggy in his old Blitz buggy
Bo Peep will be happy

Now little Bo Peep has lost her jeep
Her boyfriend made an error
He let her drive, goodness sakes alive
That Bo Peep, she's a terror

The throttle pushed down, she tore through town
The red lights didn't stop her
The soldier knew that they both were through
When she side swiped a copper

Now little Bo Peep has lost her jeep
Oh my, why must her joy end?
Now her little jeep is layin' in a heap
And the guardhouse has her boyfriend

Over and over I whisper your name
Let me make a full confession
You are my magnificent obsession

Day in and day out it's always the same
There is love beyond expression

You are everything and more to me as my kisses have told
I keep asking when again you'll be mine to have and to hold
Deep in the darkness when love is aflame heaven is in my possession
For you are my magnificent obsession-obsession

You are everything and more to me as my kisses have told
I keep asking when again you'll be mine to have and to hold
Deep in the darkness when love is aflame heaven is in my possession
For you are my magnificent obsession, you're my magnificent obsession

The Little Blue Man


The Little Blue Man
Composer(s): Paul Klein - Fred Ebb
First release by: Betty Johnson - 1958



One morning when I was out shopping
Though you'll find it hard to believe
A little blue man came out of the crowd
And timidly tugged at my sleeve

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

I hurried back to my apartment
I rushed in and I closed the door
But there on my desk stood the little blue man
Who started to tell me once more

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

For weeks after that I was haunted
Though no one could see him but me
Right by my side was the little blue man
Wherever I happened to be

"I wuv you! I wuv you!" said the little blue man
"I wuv you! I wuv you to bits!"
"I wuv you!"
He loved me, said the little blue man
And scared me right out of my wits

One evening in wild desperation
I rushed to a rooftop in town
And over the side pushed the little blue man
Who sang to me on the way down
"I wuuuuv youuuu!"

I whispered, "Thank goodness that's over!"
I smiled as I hurried outside
But there on the street stood the little blue man
Who said with a tear in his eye
"I don't wuv you anymore"

Magnet And Steel


Magnet And Steel
Composer(s): Walter Egan
Performer(s): Walter Egan



Ooh ooh ah
Now I told you so you ought to know
Ooh it takes some time for a feelin' to grow
Ooh you're so close now I can't let you go
Ooh and I can't let go
For you are a magnet and I am steel

I can't hope that I'll hold you for long
Ooh you're a woman who's lost to your song
Ooh but the love that I feel is so strong
Ooh and it can't be wrong

With you I'm not shy to show the way I feel
With you I might try my secrets to reveal
For you are a magnet and I am steel
For you are a magnet and I am steel

Magical Potion


Magical Potion
Composer(s): Robert Calvert
Performer(s): Robert Calvert



I've tried every conceivable pill
to stop me from getting so ill
but when the ship starts to rock n roll
I've got to reach for me medical bowl
And it would take a magical potion
to carry me across the Atlantic ocean
it's no good you saying it's quicker by air
I'd be very much sicker if I went up there
I'd like to see America
the President and his Cadillac car
Everythings fine in America
but I don't think that I'll get that far
'cause it would take a magical potion
to carry me across the Atlantic ocean
no good you saying it's quicker by air
I'd be sicker if I went up there
Everything in America's fine
the Coca Cola and the Neon sign
Broadway is the place for me
though it's a place that I'll never be
I'd like to go to California
put some flowers in my hair
I'd like to go to Hollywood
see the film-stars if I only could
But it would take a magical potion
to carry me across the Atlantic ocean
no good you saying it's quicker by air
I know I'd be sicker if I went up there

I wake up every morning
Honey with the risin' sun

Tell her I said hurry home
If you see my baby

Since my gal been gone

She's a little bitty girl
And they call her Vita Lee
She's a little bitty girl
And they call her Vita Lee
Well the poor girl's gone
But she shure was good to me

I don't mind cryin' baby
But I hate to sleep all by myself
Don't mind cryin' baby
But I hate to sleep all by myself
When the little girl I'm in love with
She's lovin' somebody else

Magic Town


Magic Town
Composer(s): Barry Mann; Cynthia Weil
Performer(s): The Vogues



They told me the streets were all paved with gold
But these dirty sidewalks are gray and concrete cold
They said neon lights were a beautiful sight
But how 'bout the one blinking in my room all night

And where's the magic in this magic town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?
Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true
I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you

They said in this town you get rich in no time
But here I am and I'm down to my last dime
I just don't know why I bother to try
When nobody here gives a hang if I live or die

And where's the magic in this magic town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?
Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true
I gotta find it, girl, before I send for you

And where's the magic in this magic town?
Where's the good life they said could be found?
Where's the magic to make all my big dreams come true
I gotta find it, girl, if it can be found

Before I bring you to

This magic town

This magic town

Little Bit Of Heaven


Little Bit Of Heaven
Composer(s): Mark Spiro
Performer(s): Pia Zadora



I used to wonder how everybody other
than me found someone to love
They must have been given a stroke of a little bit of luck
But deep in my heart was a place and a part
That only the right one could fill
Well
my prayers must have all gone through

'Cause somebody up there sent me you

And now I've found my little bit of heaven
I'm feeling like an angel
'Cause now I've fouild my little bit of heaven
I'm feeling more than able
To give you all the secrets nobody ever knew

And put the past behind me

forget about what I have been through

'Cause now I've found my little bit of heaven in you

Now every day just shows another way
How a little bit of love can grow
the ups and downs

Through the sunshine and ram
And the highs and the lows
But I'll just keep believing in the love I've been feeling

And take it one day at a time

'Cause my prayers have all come true

And somebody up there sent me you
And now I've found my little bit of heaven ...
And now I've found my little bit of heaven ...

Now that I've found my little bit of heaven
I'm feeling like an angel
Now that I've found my little bit of heaven
I'm feeling more than able
Now that I've found my little bit of heaven
I'm feeling like an angel
Now that I've found my little bit of heaven
I'm feeling more than able

Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

My friends all said I'd never learn to dance
In fact, they said I didn't stand a chance
The dancin' contest, time to show them moves
Then I found these magic shoes

Oh...shocked the crowd when sparks flew from my feet
As I started groovin' with the beat
Oh, people better watch your Ps & Qs
`Cause I've got magic shoes

Oh...I feel it's now my turn to love
Their winning chance is less than half
The judges votes have all been cast
I come out first instead of last

People are amazed at my control
The secrets hidden underneath my soul
Oh, I've no longer got wallflower blues
`Cause I've got magic shoes

Oh...

Ah...ah...ah...ah...

People are amazed at my control
The secrets hidden underneath my soul
Oh, I've no longer got wallflower blues
`Cause I've got magic shoes
Magic shoes

Little Bird, Little Bird


Little Bird, Little Bird

Anselmo, Pedro:
(two Muleteers)
Little bird, little bird
In the cinnamon tree
Little bird, little bird
Do you sing for me?
Do you bring me word
Of one I know?
Little bird, little bird
I love her so
Little bird, little bird
I have to know
Little bird, little bird
Beneath this tree
This cinnamon tree
We learned to love
We learned to cry
For here we met
And here we kissed
And here one cold and moonless night
We said goodbye

Anselmo:
Little bird, little bird
Oh have pity on me
Bring her back to me now
'Neath the cinnamon tree
I have waited too long
Without a song
Little bird, little bird
Please fly, please go
little bird, little bird
And tell her so
Little bird, little bird

Pedro, Muleteers:
Little bird, little bird, ...

Magic Power


Magic Power
Composer(s): Rik Emmett; Michael Levine; Gil Moore
Performer(s): Triumph; Hugo



Something's at the edge of your mind, you don't know what it is
Somethin' you were hopin' to find but your not sure what it is
Then you hear the music and it all comes crystal clear
The music does the talkin' says the things you want to hear

I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me

She climbs into bed, pull the covers overhead and turns her little radio on
She's had a rotten day so she hopes the DJ's gonna play her favorite song
It makes her feel much better, brings her closer to her dreams
A little magic power makes it better that it seems

She's young now, she's wild now, she wants to be free
She gets the magic power of the music in me

If you're thinkin' it over but you just can't sort it out
Do you want someone to tell you what they think it's all about
Are you the one and only who's sad and lonely, reachin' for the top
Well the music keeps you goin' and it's never gonna stop
Never gonna stop
Never gonna, never gonna, never gonna stop

The world is full of compromise, and infinite red tape
But the music's got the magic, it's your one chance for escape
So turn me on - turn me up - it's your turn to dream
A little magic power makes it better than it seems

I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me
I'm young, I'm wild and I'm free
I got the magic power of the music in me
