On My Pond
On My Pond
Performer(s): Kermit The Frog
(background fish in brackets)
There's a place
Where I can sit
Just me, myself and I
On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond
Where the water's
Fresh and clean
And peaceful as a sigh
On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond
Look at the grass all around me
It's green as the smile on my face
Look at the trees they astound me
Wow, what a beautiful place
There's a spot
Where no one lives
But quiet little fish
On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond
Nature lets me
Come and visit
Any time I wish
On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond
Look at us all
We're enjoying
A breath of sweet country air
(a boat goes by trailing fumes, Kermit coughs,
a family turns up a boombox loud)
Hey! This is getting annoying
Please keep it down over there!
Wait a minute! Who said you
Could dump your garbage here?
On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond
Cleaning it all up again
Could take us years and years
On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond
Keeping it clean to begin with
Yes that's the smart thing to do
(fish pop up with their faces covered in gas masks)
(Don't let them cover our fins with
Any more black slimy gooooooo!)
Save a place where I can sit
Just me, myself and I
On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond
Keep the water fresh and clean
And peaceful as a sigh
On my pond (on my pond)
On my pond
(repeat as people start picking up garbage)
Isn't it a lot nicer with everything all cleaned up like this?
On my pond (on my pond)
(repeat and fade)

Me And The Devil Blues
Me And The Devil Blues
Composer(s): Robert Johnson
Performer(s): Robert Johnson
Early this mornin', when you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin', ooh, when you knocked upon my door
And I said, "Hello, Satan, I believe it's time to go"
Me and the Devil, was walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil, ooh, was walkin' side by side
I'm goin' to beat my woman, until I get satisfied
She say you don't see why, that I will dog her 'round
(Now, baby, you know you ain't doin' me right, now)
She say you don't see why, ooh, that I will dog her 'round
It must-a be that old evil spirit, so deep down in the ground
You may bury my body, down by the highway side
(Baby, I don't care where you bury my body when I'm dead and gone)
You may bury my body, ooh, down by the highway side
So my old evil spirit, can get a Greyhound bus and ride

Me & The Boys
Me & The Boys
Performer(s): Matt Minglewood
Remember back when we were young
And all the crazy things that we've done
Me and the boys out skipping school
Back on the hill acting a fool
Yes, it's so easy to remember when
Everything was so simple then
We never worry about the money that we spend
When you ain't got no money
You don't care where it went
In the summer days when there were no courses
Up at the creek just riding the horses
Acting out westerns that we had seen
Down at the theater on the movie screen
One year later felt 5 years older
With the girls we were getting bolder
Nighttime down at the railroad yard
Awkward moves, God it was hard
But it sure was fun
Feel the wind running through our hair as we ride
Running so fast that not even time can hold us
Young and free we had nothing to hide
Doing all those things that nobody just could not hold us
Me and the boys
Me and the boys
Me and the boys
Cruising in a 57 Dodge
The boys all checking out the noisy rod
Backyard mechanics each and every one
It was greasy work but God it was fun
We got her rolling down the 104
She's working better than she did before
Half a tank and we're on our way
Heading for a week-end holiday
Feel the wind running through our hair as we ride
Running so fast that not even time can hold us
Young and free we had nothing to hide
Doing all those things that nobody just could not hold us
Me and the boys
Me and the boys
Me and the boys
Me and the boys, nobody told us
Me and the boys, nobody told us
When we were young
When we were young
Me and the boys
Me and the boys

On My Mind
On My Mind
Composer(s): Tom James; Jerry Organ
Performer(s): Flatt & Scruggs;
and various other artists
I can't sleep and I can't eat all I do is sit and cry
And listen for your footsteps at my door
I keep asking myself why that you ever said goodbye
And I guess I've cried a million tears or more
On my mind on my mind
You're always in my heart and on my mind
Once I thought my love would die darling here's what I find
You're always in my heart and on my mind
Seems I miss you most of all when the twilight shadows fall
What a fool I was to ever let you go
If longing for you now could only bring you back somehow
You'd be here in these lovin' arms I know

Me & My Wine
Me & My Wine
Performer(s): Def Leppard
Well I'm down in the alley of Sally and I'm feeling my way
And it's four in the morning, I don't have a lot I can say
I know I'm looking for some satisfaction
But there ain't much news
Got some walking from a back reaction
I'm hanging down and loose
Me and the boys have been drinking
Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking
All I can say is I'm doing fine with just me and my wine
Now my brain and my body are runnin' on different rails
And I died and just say hi what if all else fails
Oh I woke up in a subway station
Lying half dead on the floor
I don't remember anything
What happened the night before
Oh me and the boys have been drinking
Feeling like this is the wrong time for thinking
All I can say is I'm doing fine with just me and my wine
Now listen
My hair's a real mess, I feel and look like a joke
And there's a hole in my jeans, I just ran right out of smokes
You know I'd like to get to know you
But I ain't got the time
I'm finding it harder and harder
To make this damn thing rhyme
Just me and my wine
Well just me and my wine
You know that I'm doing fine
Well just me and my wine
Thank you

On Me Recherche
On Me Recherche
Composer(s): Philippe Labro; Eddie Vartan
Performer(s): Johnny Hallyday
On me recherche en Bourgogne
On me recherche en Vendée
On me recherche en Gascogne
On me cherche dans le Lyonnais
Mon visage et mes empreintes
Sont diffusées chaque jour
Par des gendarmes qui pointent
Leurs sales gueules au carrefours
On me recherche en Touraine
On me recherche en Provence
On me cherche en Aquitaine
Et dans toute l'Ile de France
J'avais trois copains de cavale
Un salaud les a donnés
Ils pourrissent en centrale
Et j'ai juré de les venger
Y a des villes et des villages
Qu'il vaut mieux plus traverser
La seule vue de mon passage
Ferait boucler toute la contrée
Ah oui
Pour tout souvenir d'enfance
Je ne connais que le vent
Et sous le soleil qui danse
Les silhouettes des truands
Quelque part dans un village
Y a trois planches et quatre murs
Une petite vieille et un petit vieux
Qui me cacheront c'est sûr
Dans leur jardin sous un arbre
À la pelle et au râteau
J'ai planqué toutes mes armes
Quatre flingues et trois couteaux
On me recherche à Créteil
On me recherche à Bordeaux
Dans les faubourgs de Marseille
Et les clandés de Saint-Malo
Oui, Saint-Malo
On me cherche à Besançon
On me cherche à Montpellier
S'ils veulent toucher ma rançon
Faudra d'abord me tuer
Me tuer
S'ils veulent toucher ma rançon
Faudra d'abord me buter
Me buter
S'ils veulent toucher ma rançon
Oui, faudra d'abord me tuer
Me tuer

Me & My Uncle
Me & My Uncle
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): Grateful Dead
and various other artists
Me and my uncle went riding down
South Colorado, West Texas bound
We stopped over in Santa Fe
That being the point just about half way
And you know it was the hottest part of the day
I took the horses up to the stall
Went to the bar-room, ordered drinks for all
Three days in the saddle, you know my body hurt
It being summer, I took off my shirt
And I tried to wash off some of that dusty dirt
West Texas cowboys, they's all around
With liquor and money, they're loaded down
So soon after pay day, you know it seemed a shame
You know my uncle, he starts a friendly game
Hi-lo jacks and the winner take the hand
My uncle starts winning, cowboys got sore
One of them called him, and then two more
Accused him of cheating, well no it couldn't be
I know my uncle, he's as honest as me
And I'm as honest as a Denver man can be
One of them cowboys, he starts to draw
Well I shot him down, Lord, he never saw
Shot me another, hot damn he won't grow old
In the confusion my uncle grabbed the gold
And we high-tailed it down to Mexico
Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
I love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, I grabbed that gold
And I left his dead ass there by the side of the road

On Marche
On Marche
Composer(s): Christophe Bardy; Gilbert Bécaud
Performer(s): Gilbert Bécaud
Il faut marcher, marcher
Marcher tout l'temps, il faut
Marcher devant, il faut
Marcher gagnant
Tu n'marches pas, t'es foutu
Les autres te marchent dessus
Il faut marcher mordant
Ou t'es perdant
On marche
On marche
Sur le grand quai des p'tits départs
On pardonne aucun retard
Le monde des fous est en partance
Avance!
Dans la cadence de l'infernal
Le moindre arrêt devient fatal
Y a pas toujours de second'chance
Avance!
Tes amis te délaissent
Et tes amours te blessent
De vrai en faux
De laid en beau
T'avances... t'avances
Il faut marcher, marcher
Marcher tout l'temps, il faut
Marcher devant, il faut
Marcher gagnant
Tu n' marches pas, t'es foutu
Les autres te marchent dessus
Ils t'attendent au tournant
La haine au vent!
Dans ce métro, boulot, salauds
Les jolies blondes jouent les machas
Tout l'monde se pousse au fer de lance

Me And My Shadow
Me And My Shadow
Composer(s): Al Jolson; Dave Dreyer; Billy Rose
Performer(s): The Mills Brothers
and various other artists
Shades of night are falling and I'm lonely
Standing on the corner feeling blue
Sweethearts out for fun
Pass me by one by one
Guess I'll wind up like I always do
With only....
Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Oh, me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock 'cause nobody's there
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feeling blue
When the sun sets on the far horizon
And the parlour lamps begin to glow
Jim and Jack and John
Put their slippers on.
They're all set but we're still on the go
So lonely....
Me and my shadow
Strolling down the avenue
Oh, me and my shadow
Not a soul to tell our troubles to
And when it's twelve o'clock we climb the stairs
We never knock 'cause nobody's there
Just me and my shadow
All alone and feeling blue

On M'Appelle Simplet
On M'Appelle Simplet
Composer(s): Jean Manse; Roger Dumas
Performer(s): Fernandel
Les oiseaux sont mes confidents
Et quand je siffle entre mes dents
Ils me comprennent tous en somme
Ils sont plus sensibles à mes maux
Pour n'être que des animaux
Ils sont moins bêtes que les hommes
Voilà pourquoi autour de moi
Faisant la joie des villageois
D'un sobriquet on me prénomme
Toujours en me montrant du doigt
Avec un petit air narquois
On m'appelle Simplet
L'Innocent du village
Doux comme un agnelet
Je mène la vie d'un sage
Chantant gaiement
Moi, je vis de l'air du temps
Je dois tout ça
Aux conseils de mon papa
Je garde son secret
C'est mon seul héritage
Mon bonheur est complet
On m'appelle Simplet
On me prend pour un grand enfant
On est pour moi très indulgent
Tous mes péchés, on les pardonne
Je conjure le mauvais sort
Ma présence est un réconfort
C'est un peu de joie que je donne
Et c'est ainsi que sans souci
Sûr et hardi dans mon Midi
J'ai grandi de façon bouffonne
Si je n'ai pas beaucoup d'esprit
Au fond vous m'en voyez ravi
On m'appelle Simplet
L'Innocent du village
Doux comme un agnelet
Je mène la vie d'un sage
Chantant gaiement
Moi, je vis de l'air du temps
Je dois tout ça
Aux conseils de mon papa
Je garde son secret
C'est mon seul héritage
Mon bonheur est complet
On m'appelle Simplet, Simplet

Me And My Melinda
Me And My Melinda
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Kay Kyser; Bunny Berigan;
Johnny Desmond; Gene Krupa & His Orch.
Me and my Melinda
My Melinda and me
We are bound up together in sympathy
Me and my Melinda
We are seldom apart
On the nights when I feel
Like a heart to heart
When I'm blue
We just sit there holding hands
And when we do
My Melinda understands
When I'm having trouble
That I cannot disclose
When I can't tell the world
Of my private woes
Long before I tell her
My Melinda knows

On M'A Donné
On M'A Donné
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
On m'a donné des yeux et l'on m'a dit regardes
J'ai eu beau regarder je n'ai rien entrevu
On m'a donné un coeur et l'on m'a dit prends garde
J'ai eu beau prendre garde un jour je l'ai perdu
On m'a donné l'amour hélas je le regrette
Car il s'en est allé depuis je n'y crois plus
On m'a donné un corps mais j'ai perdu la tête
Et j'ai souillé mon corps dans des bras inconnus
On m'a donné, on m'a donné
On m'a donné des rêves mais quelle imposture
Car ces rêves ne sont que de longs cauchemars
On m'a donné des lèvres afin qu'elles murmurent
Elles n'ont jamais dit que des mots sans espoir
On m'a donné des larmes de joies de souffrances
Je ne pleure jamais car mon coeur est de bois
On m'a donné aussi en plus une conscience
Mais au fond de moi-même elle n'a plus de voix
On m'a donné, on m'a donné
Pourquoi
On m'a donné des livres afin que je lise
Mais je les ai brûlé sans les avoir ouverts
On m'a donné des mains pour les joindre à l'église
Mais qui sait si j'irai au ciel ou en enfer
On m'a donné une âme à garder pure et blanche
Mais j'ai vendu mon âme au diable un beau matin
On m'a donné la vie qui a pris sa revanche
Mais j'ai gâcher la vie que j'avais dans mes mains
Dieu m'est témoin on m'a donné
On m'a donné, en vain

On M'A Dit Que
On M'A Dit Que
Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell
On m'a dit qu'j'avais dit que
Du mal de toi parc'que
Tu t'répandais sur moi
C't'hiver j'aurai pas froid
Tu m'as bien habillé
Mais j't'ai bien costumée
Et ceux qui t'aiment font semblant t'écouter
C'est pour mieux te miner
Veulent nous voir séparés
Ne crois pas
Aux washah - washah - washah
Halte à tout, parle-moi, retrouvons-nous
Laisse les vipères siffler
Laisse le bon temps rouler
Même s'il y a pas d'fumée sans feu
L'amour ça s'brûle a deux
Mais on m'a dit qu't'as dit que
j'ne suis pas une mauvaise langue, je n'rapporterai pas
que quand j'rentre au p'tit matin, t'es pas toujours là
Washah - washah - washah
On m'a dit qu't'avais dit que
Du mal de moi parce que
Je balançais sur toi
Des choses qu'existaient pas
On m'a dit qu't'as dis que du mal de moi parce que
J't'ai délaissée mais j't'ai pas mis d'collier
J't'ai pas abandonnée
J'suis pas fait pour dresser
Ne crois pas
Aux washah - washah - washah
Je ressemble a tous ces chiens
Qu'on met d'vant les niches
Je fais semblant de garder
J'aboie, mais je triche
Washah - washah - washah

Me And My Baby
Performer(s): Ann Reinking & Boys; Rob Fisher
Roxie:
Look at my baby my baby and me..
Me and my baby
My baby and me
We're 'bout as happy as babies can be
What if I find
That I'm causght in a storm?
I don't care
my baby's there
And baby's bound to keep me warm
We're sticking together
And ain't we got fun
So much together
You'd count us as one
Tell old man worry to go climb a tree
'cause I've got my baby
I'm with my baby
Look at my baby and me
Looka my baby
my baby and me
A dream of a duo
Now don't you agree
Why keep it mum
When there's nothing to hid?
And what I feel
I must reveal
It's more that I can keep inside
And I can assure you
It won't go away
Let me assur you
It grow every day
I was a one once
But now I' a 'we'
'cause I got my baby
My dear little baby
Looka my baby and me
Roxie and boys:
Looka my baby
My baby and me
Facing the world
Optimistically
Nothing can stop us
So nobody try
'cause baby's rough
And full of stuff
And incidentally, so am I
Get out of our way, folks
And give us some room
Watch how we bubble
And blossom and bloom
Life was a prison
But we got the key
Me and my baby
My dear little baby
My cute little baby
My sweet little baby
My fat little baby
My soft little baby
My pink little baby
My bald little baby
Looka my baby
Roxie:
And me

On London Bridge
On London Bridge
Composer(s): Roy Bennett; Sid Tepper
Performer(s): Jo Stafford
I walked on London Bridge last night
I saw you by the lamppost light
Then bells rang out in sleepy Londontown
And London Bridge came tumbling down
The sky was hidden by a mist
But just like magic when we kissed
The moon and stars were shining all around
When London Bridge came tumbling down
Just you and I over the river
Two hearts suspended in space
And there so high over the river
A miracle tookplace
Two empty arms found love to hold
Two smoke rings turned to rings of gold
I bless the night we met in Londontown
When London Bridge came tumbling down
Just you and I over the river
Two hearts suspended in space
And there so high over the river
A miracle took place
I bow my head in silent prayer
And thank Him for the love we share
He blessed the night we met in Londontown
When London bridge came tumbling down

Me and my arrow
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It's me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Taking the high road
Wherever we go, everyone knows
It's me and my arrow
And in the morning when I wake up
She may be gone, I don't know
And we make up just to break up
I'll carry on, oh yes I will
Me and my arrow
(do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)
Straighter than narrow
Wherever we go, every one knows
It's me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
Me and mt arrow
Me and my arrow
Me and my arrow
(do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do)

On Laisse Tous Un Jour
On Laisse Tous Un Jour
Composer(s): Vline Buggy;
Hugues Aufray; Michel Fugain
Performer(s): Michel Fugain
On laisse tous un jour
Un peu de notre vie
Sur une table
Dans le fond d'un café
Sur une table
Que l'on oublie jamais
On laisse tous un jour
Un peu de ses amis
Tous les poètes
Venus se mettre au chaud
Sur la banquette
Dans un coin de bistrot
On dit "salut"
On commande un demi
Et on refait le monde
Mais le monde est si grand
Qu'il nous faut bien toute la nuit
On laisse tous un jour
Un peu de nos amours
Que l'on griffonne
Sur la nappe en papier
Et qu'on chiffonne
Au fond d'un cendrier
Elle dit "bonjour"
On commande un demi
On lui promet le monde
Mais pour donner le monde
Il nous faut bien toute la nuit
La la la la la la...
