Maybe You'll Be There


Maybe You'll Be There
Composer(s): Rube Bloom; Sammy Gallop
Performer(s): Jane Morgan
and various other artists



Each time I see a crowd of people
Just like a fool, I stop and stare
It's really not the proper thing to do
But maybe you'll be there

I go out walking after midnight
Along a lonely thoroughfare
It's not the time or place to look for you
But maybe you'll be there

You said your arms would always hold me
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How could it end like this?

Someday if all my prayers are answered
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart, I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll be there

You said your arms would always hold me
You said your lips were mine alone to kiss
Now after all those things you told me
How could it end like this?

Someday if all my prayers are answered
I'll hear a footstep on the stair
With anxious heart, I'll hurry to the door
And maybe you'll be there
And maybe you'll be there, maybe you'll be there

On Again! On Again!


On Again! On Again!
Composer(s): Jake Thackray
Performer(s): Jake Thackray



I love a good bum on a woman, it makes my day
To me it is palpable proof of God's existence, a posteriori
Also I love breasts and arms and ankles, elbows, knees
It's the tongue, the tongue, the tongue on a woman that spoils the job for me

Please understand I respect and admire the frailer sex
And I honour them every bit as much as the next misogynist
But give some women the ghost of a chance to talk and thereupon
They go on again, on again, on again, on again, on again, on again, on ...

I fell in love with a woman with wonderful thighs and hips
And a sensational belly, I just never noticed her lips were always moving
Only when we got to the altar and she had to say I Do
And she folded her arms and gathered herself and took in a breath and I knew ...

She could have gone on again, on again, on again till the entire
Congregation passed out and the vicar passed on and the choirboys passed through puberty
At the reception I gloomily noted her family's jubilant mood
Their maniacal laughter and their ghastly gratitude

She talks to me when I go for a shave, or a sleep, or a swim
She talks to me on a Sunday, when I go singing hymns, and drinking heavily
When I go mending my chimney pot she's down there in the street
And at ninety-five on my motorbike she's on the pillion seat

Wittering on again, on again, on and again and again
When I'm eating or drinking, or reading or thinking, or when I'm saying my rosary
She will never stop talking to me, she is one of those women who
Will never use three or four words when a couple of thousand will easily do

She also talks without stopping to me in our bed of a night
Throughout the sweetest of our intimate delights she never gives over
Not even stopping while we go hammer and tongs towards the peak
Except maybe for a sigh and a groan and one perfunctory shriek

Then she goes on again, on again, on again on and I must
Assume that she has never noticed that she's just been interrupted
Totally unruffled she is, and as far as I can see
I might just as well have been posting a letter or stirring up the tea

She will not take a hint, not once she's made a start
I can yawn, or belch, or bleed, or faint, or fart - she'll not drop a syllable
I could stand in front of her grimly sharpening up an axe
I could sprinkle her with paraffin, and ask her for a match

She'd just go on again, on again, on again even more
The hind leg of a donkey is peanuts for her, she can bore the balls off a buffalo
Mother of God, I cried one day, Oh, let your kingdom come
And in the meantime, Mother, could you strike this bugger dumb?

Well, believe it or not, she appeared to me then and there
The Blessed Virgin herself, in answer to my prayer - despite the vulgarity
Shimmering softly, dressed in blue and holding up a hand
I cocked a pious ear, as the Mother of God began

But she went on again, on again, on again on and I
Will have to state how very much I sympathise with the rest of the family
Give some women the ghost of a chance to talk and thereupon
They go on again, on again, on again, on again,
and again, and again, and again, and again

They will go on again, on again, on again, on again,
On again, on again, on ...

Maybe Tonight


Maybe Tonight
Composer(s): Doug Fieger
Performer(s): The Knack



I dont know why I never said it before
I dont know why I waited so long to be sure
But I ... everything's coming
Something's coming, maybe tonight

Funny to think I had to clown and pretend
Never knew I saw you as more than a friend
But I ... come hold me tighter, come make it right
Maybe tonight, oh maybe tonight

Ever since the day I saw you
I was blown away 'cause I knew I could not say
All the things I had to say
I was such a shy guy, I could not tell you I love you
Well maybe tonight, yes maybe tonight
But I ... come hold me tighter
Come make it right, maybe tonight
Yes maybe tonight
Ever since the day I saw you
I was blown away 'cause I knew I had to say
All the things I had to say

I was such a shy guy
I could not tell you I love you
Well maybe tonight
Maybe tonight
Yes maybe tonight
Maybe tonight
Maybe tonight

On A Wonderful Day Like Today


On A Wonderful Day Like Today
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse; Anthony Newley
Performer(s): Lena Horne;
Anthony Newley; Matt Monro; Veronica Nunn;
Johnny Mathis; Shirley Bassey



On a wonderful day like today
I defy any cloud to appear in the sky
Dare any rain drop to plop in my eye
On a wonderful day like today

On a wonderful morning like this
When the sun is as big as a yellow balloon
Even the sparrows are singing in tune
On a wonderful morning like this

On a morning like this I could kiss everybody
I'm so full of love and goodwill
Let me say furthermore
I'd adore everybody to come and dine
The pleasure's mine and I will pay the bill

May I take this occasion to say
That the whole human race should go down on its knees
Show that we're grateful for mornings like these
For the world's in a wonderful way
On a wonderful day like today

On a morning like this I could kiss everybody
I'm so full of love and goodwill
Let me say furthermore
I'd adore everybody to come and dine
The pleasure's mine and I will pay the bill

May I take this occasion to say
That the whole human race should go down on its knees
Show that we're grateful for mornings like these
For the world's in a wonderful way
On a wonderful day like today

Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tonight


Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tonight
Composer(s): C. Koerts; G.C. Koerts; H.W.C. Ziech
Performer(s): Earth and Fire



When the time will come
that the birds return
the season is on the turn
and the blossom
is adorning the land
My loneliness, my darling will come to an end

Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight
It’s such a wonderful feeling
When your back on my side

When the sunshine
so bright and clean
will make trees turn into green
our love will turn into what we intend
my loneliness my darling will come to an end

Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight
It’s such a wonderful feeling
When your back on my side
Maybe tomorrow, maybe tonight
It’s such a wonderful feeling

The time has come
that birds returned
the season is on the turn
and blossom is adorning the land
My loneliness, my darling will come to an end

On A Tropic Night


On A Tropic Night
Composer(s): Ned Washington; Agustín Lara
Performer(s): Dorothy Lamour



So lovely is the moon on a tropic night
No heart can be immune on a tropic night
As a lonely guitar plays a serenade
There's music in the heart of each man and maid
Stars always linger low on a tropic night
What lips can answer "No" when two lips invite
When there's wine in the air, lips are always careless
Lovers find their delight on a tropic night

Maybe Tomorrow (The Jackson 5)


Maybe Tomorrow
Composer(s): Berry Gordy, Jr.; Alphonso Mizell;
Freddie Perren; Deke Richards
Performer(s): The Jackson 5



I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly sky
I only know my heaven is here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
The way .. you do baby

Thank you, thank you baby

My beautiful bird you have flown away
I held you to tight, I can see

You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby

Chorus:
You are the book that I read each day
You are the song that I sing
Gonna sing it to you
You are the four seasons of my life
But maybe tomorrow, you'll change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow, you'll come back to my arms girl

(maybe she won't)

Maybe

You're all I need to get by
No one else can make me cry
The way you do baby

Chorus (adlib)
(repeat)

On A Tous Besoin D'Amour


On A Tous Besoin D'Amour
Composer(s): Jean-Paul Dréau; Saint Preux
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



Nous on veut l'amour
Rien de plus, rien de moins
Pour les cœurs trop lourds
De détresse, de chagrin
Nous on veut l'amour
Pour toujours prend ma main
On a tous besoin d'amour
Rien de plus, rien de moins

Donne pour l'amitié
Ou simplement pour la différence
Donne pour aimer
C'est la seule vérité
Aime l'autre pour qu'il apprenne à t'aimer

Tu peux tout changer
Faire couler l'eau des mots de tes rêves
Sur les yeux fermés
Qui ne croient plus le beau
Parce qu'à trop oublier, ils se taisent

Nous on veut l'amour
Rien de plus, rien de moins
Pour les cœurs trop lourds
De détresse, de chagrin
Nous on veut l'amour
Pour toujours prend ma main
On a tous besoin d'amour
Rien de plus, rien de moins

Donne tout ce que tu veux
A tous ceux qui n'ont rien ou si peu
Qui tendent les mains
Et qui ferment leurs yeux
Pour nous dire qu'ils sont là, faute de mieux

Nous on veut l'amour
Rien de plus, rien de moins
Pour les cœurs trop lourds
De détresse, de chagrin
Nous on veut l'amour
Pour toujours prend ma main
On a tous besoin d'amour
Rien de plus, rien de moins

I'll love you love again
Maybe Tomorrow
I don't know where or when
Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tomorrow

You say, you say you're gonna cry
Because they've made us say goodbye
Our love will stand the test of time
And our ages won't be there
To draw the line

I'll love you love again
Maybe Tomorrow
I don't know where or when
Maybe Tomorrow, Maybe Tomorrow

On A Toujours Le Temps


On A Toujours Le Temps
Composer(s): Bernard Dimey; Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



On a toujours le temps mon amour le temps passe
On a toujours le temps de mourir pour un mot
Un mot d'amour qui flotte à l'heure où tout se casse
Un mot sans intérêt qui sonne toujours faux
On a toujours le temps de passer la frontière
Aux risques et périls de celui qu'on était
Il sera toujours temps d'éteindre la lumière
Et de te dire encore ici bas je t'aimais

On a toujours le temps mon amour quoi qu'on fasse
On a toujours le temps de mourir pour un rien
Après avoir surpris brusquement dans la glace
Un regard qui déjà ne regardait plus rien
On a toujours le temps de revoir dans la glace
Le sourire attendri des amants surgelés
Viens dormir dans mes bras mon amour le temps passe
On a toujours le temps crois-moi de s'en aller

On meurt autour de nous comme on danse à la foire
Au milieu du néon des minuits parisiens
On plonge d'un seul coup dans une eau froide et noire
Ni le temps, ni l'argent n'y pourront jamais rien
On a toujours le temps de rejoindre ces ombres
Ce soir il fait très beau et quand tu me souris
Le soleil se rallume au fond de ces recoins sombres
Et mon Eldorado est au creux de ton lit

There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down the road is where I'll always be

Every stop I make, I'll make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

Down this road, that never seems to end
Where new adventure, lies just around the bend

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style

Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

There's a world, that's waiting to unfold
A brand new tale, no one has ever told,

We've journey'd far but, you know it won't be long
We're almost there and we've paid our fare with the hobo song

Maybe tomorrow, I'll want settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on

So if you want to join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light
That's hobo style

Maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I call home
Until tomorrow, you know I'm free to roam

Una voz.. me llama cada vez
Por mi camino.. allí siempre estaré

Donde quiera que voy.. un amigo haré
Misión cumplida, te das la vuelta, y me fui otra vez

Tal vez mañana.. ya mi vida asentaré
Hasta mañana.. mi camino seguiré

Si me quieres acompañar.. por un día o dos
Ponte tu gorra, camisa, un short.. así soy yo

Tal vez mañana.. ya llegue a ese lugar
Hasta mañana.. seguiré mi caminar
Hasta mañana.. el mundo es mi hogar..

Maybe This Time


Maybe This Time
Composer(s): Fred Ebb; John Kander
Originally performed by: Liza Minnelli



Maybe this time I’ll be lucky
Maybe this time he’ll stay
Maybe this time for the first time
Love won’t hurry away
He will hold me fast
I’ll be home at last
Not a loser anymore
Like the last time and the time before
Everybody loves a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful
Lady happy
That’s what I long to be
Well, all the odds are, they’re in my favor
Something’s bound to begin
It’s gotta happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I’ll win

Everybody, they love a winner
So nobody loved me
Lady peaceful
Lady happy
That’s what I long to be
Well, all the odds are, they’re in my favor
Something’s bound to begin
It’s gotta happen
Happen sometime
Maybe this time I’ll win

On A Ses Jours


On A Ses Jours
English Title: She's A Woman
Composer(s): John Lennon; Paul McCartney; Georges Aber
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday



On a ses jours de veine
On a ses jours de peine
Maintenant quoiqu'il arrive
Tous les combats que je livre
C'est bien pour toi que j'aime

Pour une place première
Une place à la lumière
Qui en vaudra la peine

On a ses jours de chance
Après quelques souffrances
Pour toi il faut que je gagne
Et j'abattrai des montagnes
Pour moi la vie commence

En renversant les barrières
Chacun lutte à sa manière
Rien n'est perdu d'avance

Le jour où je t'ai rencontré
Non, jamais, je ne l'oublierai

On a ses jours de fête
Les jours où l'on inquiète
Les jours triste où il fait sombre
Avec des ennuis sans nombre
Qui tombe sur nos têtes

L'amour n'est-il qu'un beau rêve
Et si un jour s'arrête
Déjà mon cœur s'inquiète

Le jour où je t'ai rencontré
Non, jamais, je ne l'oublierai

On a ses jours de veine
On a ses jours de peine
Maintenant quoiqu'il advienne
A quoi bon tous ces problèmes
Dis-moi puisque tu m'aimes

On a ses jours de misère
Puis les bonheurs nous éclairent
Que les beaux jours reviennent

Ouais, car je t'aime
Ouais, car je t'aime
Ouais, car je t'aime ...

Maybe September


Maybe September
Composer(s): Ray Evans; Percy Faith; Jay Livingston
Performer(s): Tony Bennett
and various other artists



Maybe September I love again
Maybe a rainbow
Will catch me then
This little boy's eyes
Will find his way once more
Just like before

When lips were tender
The sway of the willow
When love was born
A face on the pillow
When early moan
I still see that golden world
In all it's splendor
Maybe September
Love will come again

A taller tree, a sweeter log
A bluer morning sky above
And maybe come September
I will set these wonders
With my love

On A Moonlight Night


On A Moonlight Night
Composer(s): Louis Wolfe Gilbert



Wonder world of mine would that I were thine, ever more
You were always kind all the joy I find, at your door
Love and all it means I found in nature scenes with the one that I adore

On a moonlight night
On a beautiful moonlight night
Stars shine bright, and you gaze to your heart's delight
Romance comes on its wings and with dawn takes flight
Loved one sweet one, moonlight and you are wonderful

Maybe It's Imaginary


Maybe It's Imaginary
Composer(s): Kirsty MacColl
Performer(s): Kirsty MacColl



Maybe it's imaginary, I'd like to know
What's the world coming to and where will it go?
The hole in the sky where the sunshine gets in
It dries up the land as it mucks up your skin
And I dont know why, who will reveal?
Maybe it's imaginary, maybe it's real
We wash all the food and we peel off the skin
But what is the point if it's poisoned within?
Now I don't know why we say ok
Maybe it's imaginary, hope it's not too late
And when in the summer we go to the sea
The things floating by aren't what we want to see
And I'd change it all if I had one wish
I'd never go swimming with those nuclear fish
Maybe those imaginary rivers run dry
But if it's true then I'd like to know why
I don't know much but I'd like to know why

On A Monday


On A Monday
Composer(s): Huddie Ledbetter
Performer(s): Ry Cooder;
and various other artists



On a Monday, I was arrested
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in jail
On a Wednesday, my trial was attested
On a Thursday, nobody would go my bail

Almost done, I'm almost done, almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail

Take these stripes, stripes from around my shoulder
Take these chains, these chains from around my legs
Lord, these stripes, it sure don't worry me
But these chains, these chain's gonna kill me dead

Yes, I'm almost done, almost done, almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail

On Friday, my baby went a-walking
On a Saturday, she locked me outa the door
On a Sunday, we were sitting down a-talking
On a Monday, she pawned all of my clothes

Maybe It's Because I'm A Londoner
Composer(s): Hubert Gregg
Originally performed by: Hubert Gregg
Covered by various other artists



Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I love London so
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I think of her wherever I go

I get a funny feeling inside of me
When walking up and down
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I love London Town
