Manhattan


Manhattan
Composer(s): Lorenz Hart; Richard Rodgers
Performer(s): Ella Fitzgerald
and various other artists



Summer journeys to Niag'ra
And to other places aggra
Vate all our cares
We'll save our fares!

I've a cozy little flat in
What is known as old Manhattan
We'll settle down
Right here in town!

We'll have Manhattan
The Bronx and Staten
Island too
It's lovely going through
The zoo!

It's very fancy
On old Delancey
Street you know
The subway charms us so
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro

And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street
In July?
Sweet pushcarts gently gliding by

The great big city's a wonderous toy
Just made for a girl and boy
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy!

We'll go to Yonkers
Where true love conquers
In the wilds
And starve together dear, in Child's

We'll go to Coney
And eat baloney on a roll
In Central Park we'll stroll
Where our first kiss we stole
Soul to soul

And "My Fair Lady"
Is a terrific show they say
We both may see it close
Some day

The city's glamour can never spoil
The dreams of a boy and goil
We'll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy!

23


23
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



Tengo 23 rostros para verte
tengo 23 manos que te tocan
tengo 23 sueños reunidos
en fila india
Tengo 23 años de distancia
tengo 23 años de tamaño
tengo 23 años de momentos
de melodías y reloj

Ahora tengo 23 caracoles
23 buenos pretextos
para hacerte compañía
23 caminatas
sin saber dónde ir
23 voces mías
diciendo "vivo cerca"
23 alegrías
nuestra complicidad
23 llaves verdes
abriéndonos la puerta
-y mi casa que queda
en la calle 23
tiene 23 siglos
distintos que vivir-
23 divisiones
de estrellas desfilando
23 sensaciones
rompiendo las ventanas
23 pasadizos
abiertos al delirio
23 mil pasiones
en una sola cama
23 espejismos
23 agonías
23 deserciones
23 veces mía
(si es posible
por supuesto
si es posible)

Las cábalas dirán
horrores de mi número
pero de pronto el 23 se me antoja de suerte
para quien lleva 23 tiempos sobre sí
(quien sabe si es acaso
mi número de muerte)

23 es pedazos
de piedras del amor
23 es el polvo
que hay en las ventanas
23 un cristal bien ahumado
para mirar al sol
23 es un rostro
al espejo una mañana
23 sale el día
23 va la noche
23
23
23...

2300 jackson street

Memories of growing up
And working hard
Our childhood passed us by

Mom and dad
They sacrificed their wants and needs
So we could reach the light

Although the times were tough for us
We knew they both worked hard
They gave us all their hearts could give

And still made room for love
We’re all united
And standing strong
And still today
We’re one big family

(chorus)
2300 jackson street
Always home
2300 jackson street
Always home

Oooooo
In harmony, together we’ll
Join hands and sing
Our love across the land

Remember we always said, if we got a chance
We’ll plan our work
And work our master plan

Although the road of life is tough
It has it’s ups and downs
We are the one and all
If we stay together
We can conquer all

We are united
And standing strong
And still today
We’re one big family
Oooooooh

(chorus)

Mother and father
They raised us to be
The best that we could be

Now the stage is set
The curtain’s up
The crowd applauds your name

Then give a smile
Lets do you’re best
No matter how far we go

(chorus)

Mangos (Rosemary Clooney)


Mangos
Composer(s): Dale Libby; Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and various other artists



Mangos, papayas, chestnuts from the fire
In my house of straw, I have so much more
Pie from the pidgeon, I fix in the kitchen
Each bite is just right for your appetite

Now if you like the way I cook
And if you like the way I look
Then step inside my shady nook
And you'll find mangos and papayas
Anything your heart desires

Mangos, papayas, chestnuts from the fire
The food is so good you will wanna stay

Eat up and drink up
And maybe you'll
Think of the day
When we say, preacher man, okay
(Okay)

Now if you like the way I cook
And if you like the way I look

Eat up and drink up
And maybe you'll

It's alright

2'35 De Bonheur


2'35 De Bonheur
Composer(s): J.M. Rivat; F. Thomas; J. Renard
Performer(s): Sylvie Vartan



Chaque soir tu vas chanter
Pourtant tu n'es pas vraiment loin de moi
Je n'suis pas tout à fait abandonnée
Si je m'ennuie je peux retrouver ta voix

J'écoute un disque de toi
Ça fait 2'35 de bonheur
Et ça me donne quand tu n'es pas là
Un petit peu de joie dans le cœur

Je peux m'imaginer
Que je fais tout ce que je veux de toi
Je te ferai dire ce qu'il me plaît
Et tu me dis 100 fois :
"Oh ! Je n'aime que toi".

Le disque est un peu rayé
Je l'ai fait jouer tant et tant de fois
Les paroles se sont effacées
Mais je devine encore ta voix

{voix homme:}
Chaque soir, je peux chanter
Pourtant je ne suis pas vraiment loin de toi
Tu n'es pas tout à fait abandonnée
Et tu sais que je n'aime que toi

Je peux m'imaginer
Que je fais tout ce que je veux de toi
Je te ferai dire ce qu'il me plaît
Et tu me dis 100 fois :
"Oh ! Je n'aime que toi".
J'écoute un disque de toi
Ça fait 2'35 de bonheur
Et ça me donne quand tu n'es pas là
Un tout petit peu de joie dans le cœur
Un p'tit peu de joie dans le cœur

{voix homme:}
Chaque soir, je veux chanter
Pourtant je ne suis pas vraiment loin de toi
Tu n'es pas tout à fait abandonnée
Et tu sais bien que je n'aime que toi

Un p'tit peu de joie dans le cœur

Mangos (Julien Clerc)


Mangos
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Julien Clerc; Martin Simon
Performer(s): Julien Clerc



Petite liane tu danses au gré du vent
Moi le macaque je te suis en rêvant
J'aimerais mordre dans les jolies mangos
Qu'tu balances là-haut

Petite liane tu danses sur le temps
Et tu te bouges comme un petit serpent
J'aimerais mordre dans les noix de coco
Qu'tu balances là-haut

En boire le lait chaud
Mango joli mango
Je t'avale fruit tropical
Mon joli mango
J'adore la saveur végétale
De ta peau

Petite liane tu danses au gré du vent
Moi le macaque je vais d'arrière en avant
J'aimerais mordre dans les jolies mangos
Grimper tout là-haut, là-haut, tout là-haut

Mango joli mango
Je t'avale fruit tropical
Mon joli mango
J'adore la saveur végétale
De ta peau

Petite liane tu n'aimes pas les ouragans
Mais moi le macaque, j'suis pas orang-outang
Laisse-moi mordre dans les jolies mangos
Qu'tu balances là-haut, là-haut, tout là-haut

Mango joli mango
Je t'avale fruit tropical
Mon joli mango
J'adore la saveur végétale
Des fibres de ta peau

J'veux grimper là-haut
Grimper tout là-haut, là-haut
Mango

24 Green Street


24 Green Street
Composer(s): John Fischer
Performer(s): Peter, Paul & Mary



The paint is old and peeling
The shutters show some cracks
There's a heavy limb on the apple tree
That's got to be cut back
There's some water in the cellar
A little sagging in the floor
But this house has weathered many storms
It will weather many more

'Cause I scraped away the peeling paint
And found the wood was good and strong
And I found a firm foundation
Had been there all along
There's nothing here that a little work
And time can't heal
'Cause everything underneath is real

Nerves are frayed and ragged
Patience is wearing thin
Words were said in fits of rage
That never should have been
We bruised each other badly
Lost respect along the way
But there's too much here worth saving
To throw it all away

Can't we lay aside our fear and pride
And find the good within
All that we have shared before
Can be restored again
There's nothing here that a little work
And time can't heal
'Cause everything underneath is real

Mangiafuoco


Mangiafuoco
Composer(s): Edoardo Bennato
Performer(s): Edoardo Bennato



Non si scherza, non è un gioco
sta arrivando Mangiafuoco
lui comanda e muove i fili
fa ballare i burattini

State attenti tutti quanti
non fa tanti complimenti
chi non balla, o balla male
lui lo manda all'ospedale

Ma se scopre che tu i fili non ce l'hai
se si accorge che tu il ballo non lo fai
allora sono guai - e te ne accorgerai
attento a quel che fai - attento ragazzo
che chiama i suoi gendarmi
e ti dichiara pazzo!...

C'è un gran ballo, questa sera
ed ognuno ha la bandiera
marionette, commedianti
balleranno tutti quanti

Tutti i capi di partito
e su in alto Mangiafuoco
Mangiafuoco fa le scelte
muove i fili e si diverte

Ma se scopre....ecc.

C'è una danza molto bella
tra Arlecchino e Pulcinella
si riempiono di calci
si spaccano le ossa
Mangiafuoco sta alla cassa

Mangiafuoco fa i biglietti
tiene i prezzi molto alti
non c'è altro concorrente
chi ci prova se ne pente!...

24/36


24/36
Performer(s): France Gall



Tu étais encore dans mes bras hier
Aujourd'hui t'es dans mon sac à bandoulière
C'est en été, qu'on s'est connu
On s'embrassait sous les étoiles
Du feu d'artifice
Que j'aimais tes yeux couleur azur
Mais je suis seule à présent il ne reste plus
De nos amours, de nos délices
Rien qu'une photo en 24/36

Souviens-toi juste avant notre rupture
Je te tenais contre moi grandeur nature
Les pieds dans l'eau, à demi nus
On pêchait les petits poissons en s'offrant des réglisses
Tu avais un joli teint de métisse
Mais je suis seule à présent il ne reste plus
De nos amours, de nos délices
Rien qu'une photo en 24/36

Mais au mois d'août on est un peu fous
Tous les baigneur font les fous
C'est tous les jours dimanche, on fait la planche
On avait les cheveux couleur maïs
Mais je suis seule à présent il ne reste plus
De nos amours, de nos délices
Rien qu'une photo en 24/36

Je pleure aujourd'hui devant la photo
Je nous revois on s'aimait en pédalo
On s'est connus, perdus de vue
Je vois déjà sur le papier que nos amours jaunissent
Je n'vois plus tes yeux couleur azur
Et je suis seule à présent il ne reste plus
De nos amours, de nos délices
Rien qu'une photo en 24/36

24000 Baisers


24000 Baisers
Italian Title: 24 Mila Baci
Composer(s): F. Bonifay
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Aime-moi
Comme je t'aime

Si tu veux bien me laisser faire
Pendant une journée entière
Je suis capable pour te plaire
De te donner 24000 baisers

Je prends des paris à la ronde
Sans perdre plus de dix secondes
Je promets devant tout le monde
De te donner 24000 baisers

Je ne sais pas ce qui ce passe
Vois-tu chérie plus je t'embrasse
Plus j'ai envie de t'embrasser

J'aime assez ça quand tu m'enlace
Et comme je ne suis pas de glace
Je ne laisserais pas ma place
Quand je te donne 24000 baisers

Je fais un trait toutes les demi-heures
J'en suis au moins à huit cent mille
Et je ne peux pas m'arrêter

Je prends des paris à la ronde
Sans perdre plus de dix secondes
Je promets devant tout le monde
De te donner 24000 baisers

Et lorsqu'une fois centenaire
Il me faudra quitter la terre
Sans même faire une prière
Je suis bien certain que Saint-Pierre
En me voyant toujours sincère
Me permettra de t'embrasser
Tout le temps de l'éternité

Mandy Is Two


Mandy Is Two
Composer(s): Fulton McGrath; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Billie Holiday
and various other artists



Mandy is two
You ought to see her eyes of cornflower blue
They really look as it they actually knew
That she's a big girl now

Mandy is two
You ought to see how many things she can do
She knows her alphabet
And ties her own shoes
And no one showed her how

If you could see her majesty
With braids in her hair
Almost as though her Sunday beau
Came around and brought her an orchid to wear

Mummy is blue
Because her little girl is going on three
But Miss Amanda she's as proud as can be
'Cause she's a big girl now

If you could see her majesty
With braids in her hair
Almost as though her Sunday beau
Came around and brought her an orchid to wear

Mummy is blue
Because her little girl is going on three
But Miss Amanda she's as proud as can be
'Cause she's a big girl now

2401


2401
Composer(s): John Mayall
Performer(s): John Mayall



There's a hero living at 2401 and all around
A family circus in the sun
Got his Mothers working
While you're having fun

Trying to change the system
Many things that must be done
Where did Moon go?
Better call at GTO

In the red room
Pam is planning where to go
Gail and Pauline
Who is prowling round your door?

A maniac, The Raven
Could he have his gun back?
No! 2401, got myself a place to stay
On the railroad, Kansas nearer every day

Miss Christine cooking
Looking very gay
How do you say a Thank You?
How do you ever tear yourself away?

Mandy (Eddie Cantor)


Mandy
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Eddie Cantor
and various other artists



I was strolling out one evening by the silvery moon
I could hear somebody singing a familiar tune
So I stopped awhile to listen, not a word I wanted to miss
It was just somebody serenading, something like this

My pretty Mandy, there's a Minister handy
And it sure would be dandy if we let him make a fee
(If we let him make a fee)
So don't you linger, here's a ring for your finger
Isn't it a little humdinger
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring a happy times for Mandy and me

My pretty Mandy, there's a Minister handy
And it sure would be dandy if he made a fee
Oh, don't you linger, here's a ring for your finger
Isn't it a humdinger
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring happy times for Mandy and me

Oh Mandy, there's a Minister handy
Come along and let the wedding chimes
Bring happy times for Mandy, Mandy
Ding dong, ding dong
The wedding chimes ring out
For Mandy, Mandy, Mandy and me

2-4-6-8 Motorway


2-4-6-8 Motorway
Composer(s): Tom Robinson
Performer(s): Tom Robinson



Drive my truck midway to the motorway station
Fairlane cruiser coming up on the left hand side
Headlight shining, driving rain on the window frame
Little young Lady Stardust hitching a ride... and it's

2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

Whizzkid sitting pretty on your two-wheel stallion
This ol' ten-ton lorry got a bead on you
Ain't no use setting up with a bad companion
Ain't nobody get the better of you-know-who

2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

Well there ain't no route you could choose to lose the two of us
Ain't nobody know when you're acting right or wrong
No-one knows if a roadway's leading nowhere
Gonna keep on driving home on the road I'm on...

2-4-6-8 ain't never too late
Me and my radio truckin' on thru the night
3-5-7-9 on a double white line
Motorway sun coming up with the morning light

Mandy (Barry Manilow)


Mandy
Composer(s): Scott English; Richard Kerr
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
Shadows of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into
Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking' in their eyes
I see a memory I never realised
How happy you made me, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Standing on the edge of time
Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

Yesterday's a dream
I face the morning
Crying on a breeze
The pain is calling, oh Mandy

Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy
Well, you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy

You came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away, oh Mandy

You kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you

25 Or 6 To 4


25 Or 6 To 4
Composer(s): Robert Lamm
Performer(s): Chicago



Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Dancing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or 6 to 4

Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should have tried to do some more
25 or 6 to 4

Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or 6 to 4
25 or 6 to 4

Mandolins In The Moonlight


Mandolins In The Moonlight
Composer(s): George Weiss; Aaron Schroeder
Performer(s): Perry Como; Helmut Lotti



Mandolins in the moonlight, beautiful music of love!

We're not in Venice in a gondola beneath skies of blue
And yet it seems we're there, signorina, when I'm close to you
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight
Mandolins in the moonlight
See what magic you start
A song of Italy sings in perfect tune with the strings of my heart

We won't be tossing coins in the fountain down in Rome tonight
And yet my dreams come true, signorina, when you hold me tight
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight
Mandolins in the moonlight
See what magic you start
A song of Italy sings in perfect tune with the strings of my heart

Now here's the way they whisper, "I love you", down in Napoli
Ti voglio bene, mia signorina, and that goes for me
'Cause I hear mandolins in the moonlight
Mandolins in the moonlight
See what magic you start
A song of Italy sings in perfect tune with the strings of my heart

Mandolins in the moonlight, beautiful music of love
