Moanin' Low


Moanin' Low
Composer(s): Howard Dietz; Ralph Rainger
Performer(s): Spike Jones
and various other artists



I feel too bad
I’m feeling mighty sick and sore
So bad I feel
I said I’m feeling sick and sore
And so afraid
My man don’t love me no more
Moanin’ low
My sweet man I love him so
Though he’s mean as can be
He’s the kind of man
Who needs the kind of woman like me
I wanna die
If sweet man should pass me by
If I doubt where he’d be
He’s the kind of man
Who needs the kind of woman like me
Don’t know any reason why he treats me so poorly
What have I gone and done
Makes my trouble double
With these worries when surely
I ain’t deservin’ it none
Moanin’ low
My sweet man is gonna go
When he goes oh lordy
He’s the kind of man
Who needs the kind of woman like me
Don’t know any reason why he treats me so coolly
What have I gone and done
He makes my trouble double
With these worries when surely
I ain’t deserving enough
Moanin’ low
My sweet man is gonna go
When he goes oh lordy
He’s the kind of man
Who needs the kind of a woman like me

Gee, But It's Lonely


Gee, But It's Lonely
Composer(s): Phil Everly
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Got Dad's car and show fare
But that's no good to half a pair
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
May as well go home
Got on my suit, my shoes are shined
All dressed up for a real good time
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
Might as well go home
What's wrong with me that I can't find
Someone for my own?
Why should I be left behind?
Left to be alone
The girl I asked out told me a lie
There she goes with some guy
Gee, but it's lonely bein' alone
Guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home

Guess I'll go on home
Guess I'll go on home

Love On A Two-Way Street


Love On A Two-Way Street
Composer(s): Sylvia Robinson - Bert Keyes
First release by: The Moments - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists



I found love on a two way street
Lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
Lost it on a lonely highway

True love will never die
So I've been told, but now I must cry
It is finally goodbye, I know

With the music softly playing
His lips were gently saying
I love you

He held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then he walked out

How could I be so blind
To give up love the very first time
To be fooled is a hurting pain
To be loved and fooled
Is a crying shame
While I bear the blame
As he laughs my name

With the music softly playing
His lips were gently saying
Honey, I love you
He held me in desperation
I thought it was a revelation
And then he walked out

I found love on a two way street
Lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
Lost it on a lonely highway

I found love on a two way street
Lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street
Lost it on a lonely highway

Mijn Dorpje In De Kempen


Mijn Dorpje In De Kempen
Composer(s): Clem De Ridder; Gerd Frank; Philemon Van Cauwenbergh
Performer(s): Louis Neefs



Naar Canada ben ik gevaren
Ik vond er een nieuwe tehuis
Ik lig hier voldaan en tevreden
En toch denk ik vaak nog aan huis
Is 's avonds de stilte gekomen
Dan gaan m'n gedachten en dromen

Naar het dorpje in de Kempen
Tussen dennen, bos en hei
Met z'n stille, goede mensen
En z'n bloemen in de wei
Met z'n oude kerketoren
En z'n sprookjes rond de haard
Gij, m'n dorpje in de Kempen
Hebt m'n liefde goed bewaard

Wanneer ik vertel aan m'n kinderen
Van 't dorpje in 't Kempense land
Dan voel ik m'n stem wel eens beven
En valt er een traan op m'n hand
Dan groeit in ons allen begeren
Om samen eens weder te keren

Naar het dorpje in de Kempen
Tussen dennen, bos en hei
Met z'n stille, goede mensen
En z'n bloemen in de wei
Met z'n oude kerketoren
En z'n sprookjes rond de haard
Gij, m'n dorpje in de Kempen
Hebt m'n liefde goed bewaard
Gij, m'n dorpje in de Kempen
Hebt m'n liefde goed bewaard

Gee Whiz
Composer(s): Carla Thomas

Gee whiz...
Look at his eyes
Gee whiz...
How they hypnotize
He's got everything a girl could want
Man oh man
What a prize
Uh huh
Gee whiz...
He's all the joy
Gee whiz
I could find in a boy
He's awful nice
It's paradise
I hope I'm not his decoy

Heaven up above
Knows how much I love
That fellah so
Angels sing
Of the love I bring
I hope our love will grow and grow
'Cause, Gee whiz...
I love that guy
Gee whiz...
My, my oh my
There are things we could do
I could say I love you
But all I could say is
Gee whiz...

Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney
Performer(s): The Beatles
and multiple other artists



Each time I look into your eyes
I see that there, there heaven lies
And as I look
I see the love of the loved

Some day they'll see that from the start
My place has been deep in your heart
And in your heart
I see the love of the loved

Though I've said it all before
I will say it more and more
Now that I'm really sure you love me
And I know that from today
I'll see it in the way
That you look at me and say, ah, you love me

So let it rain, I'll never care
Deep in your heart, I'll still be there
And when I'm there
I see the love of the loved

Though I've said it all before
I will say it more and more
Now that I'm really sure you love me
And I know that from today
I'll see it in the way
That you look at me and say, ah, you love me

So let it rain, I'll never care
Deep in your heart, I'll still be there
And when I'm there
I see the love of the loved
I see the love of the loved
I see the love of the loved

Mijn Dochter En Ik


Mijn Dochter En Ik
Composer(s): H. van Eyck; C. van Doesburgh
Performer(s): Gerard Cox



Zij en ik, ik en zij
Ik hou van haar en zij van mij
De band die ons verbindt
Een vader en z'n kind
We delen de geheimen
En we delen ook de pijn
We zorgen om er hoe dan ook
Steeds voor elkaar te zijn
Want we houden van elkaar
Zij van mij en ik van haar
Tot de allerlaatste snik
Mijn dochter en ik

Zij en ik, ik en zij
Ik hoor bij haar en zij bij mij
Vanaf de eerste dag
Toen ik dat lekkere koppie zag
Ik leerde haar te praten
Maar wat leer ik nu van haar
We hebben meestal ruim genoeg
Aan een blik of een gebaar
Want we houden van elkaar
Zij van mij en ik van haar
Tot de allerlaatste snik
Mijn dochter en ik

We delen de geheimen
En we delen ook de pijn
We zorgen om er hoe dan ook
Steeds voor elkaar te zijn
Want we houden van elkaar
Zij van mij en ik van haar
Tot de allerlaatste snik
Mijn dochter en ik
Mijn dochter en ik
Mijn dochter en ik

Gee Ma, I Wanna Go Home


Gee Ma, I Wanna Go Home



They say that in the army
The coffee's mighty fine
Well, it's good for cuts and bruises
But it tastes like turpentine!
Oh, I don't want no more of army life
Gee Ma, I wanna go home!

The chicken in the army
They say is mighty fine
A drum rolled off the table
And squashed a pal of mine!
Oh, I don't want no more of army life!
Gee Ma, I wanna go home!

The clothing that they give us
They say is mighty fine
Well, me and half my regiment
Can all fit into mine
Oh, I don't want no more of army life
Gee Ma, I wanna go home!

The salary that they pay us
They say is mighty fine
They give you thirty dollars
And take back forty-nine
Oh, I don't want no more of army life
Gee Ma, I wanna go
Gee Ma I gotta go
Gee Ma, I wanna go home!

Love Of The Common People


Love Of The Common People
((Dutch Version: Stille Willem (Henk Spaan) - 1981))
Composer(s): John Hurley - Ronnie Wilkins
First recording/First release by: The Four Preps - 1966/1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? hmm hmm

Tears from little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go
Oh but you know, she'll get by

She is living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
A walkin' to town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And the chills to the bone
Oh, you better go home where it's warm

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can

Living on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take them in stride, family pride

You know that faith is your foundation
And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Making you strong, where you belong

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Be the pride in the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can

M'man
J'viens tout juste d'avoir mes quatorze ans
J'veux plus d'école: j'suis dev'nu grand
J'te promets j'te gagn'rai plein d'argent

M'man
J'viens d'fumer ma tout premiere Week-End
Sur les fortif' ou t'aimes pas qu'j'traîne
J'me s'rais tué plutôt que d'refuser

Y a pas qu'les mères qui font les enfants
La zone, la rue coulent dans mon sang
M'man, j'aimerais chanter tout ce que r'sentent les autres
Ta vie, la nôtre...
M'en veux pas, mais maint'nant j'ai choisi

M'man
Les tours c'est pas toujours des guettos
J'ai pas d'passion pour les oiseaux
Mais comme eux j'aimerais voir ça d'en haut

M'man
J'comprends mieux le regard des passants
J'vois pas commme eux, j'pense tout en grand
En couleur et sur un écran blanc

Y a pas qu'les mères qui font les enfants
La zone, la rue coulent dans mon sang
Tu sais, j'sais pas grand chose sur les choses de l'amour
Mais j'me doute toujours...
C'est pas moi, c'est pas moi qui choisis

M'man
J'viens tout juste d'avoir mes quatorze ans
J'veux plus d'école, j'suis dev'nu grand
J'suis dev'nu grand

M'man
J'te promets j'te gagn'rai plein d'argent, m'man
J'suis dev'nu grand, m'man
J'suis dev'nu grand...

What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, Baby ain't I good to you

Composer(s): John Hurley - Ronnie Wilkins - Henk Spaan
Performer(s): Henk Spaan - 1981



Willem traint zich de blubber Willem is de jongen voor het vuile werk
Altijd gaten trekken, geen gevoel voor de bal ben je mal
Willem loopt vaak voor joker
Hijgend als een paard krijgt ie weer een gele kaart
Hij begrijpt het niet, geen gevoel voor de bal ben je mal

Willem moet het hebben van zijn loopvermogen
Willem is een stille eigenlijk niet zoveel aan
Willem klaagt niet Willem doet zijn mond nooit open
Altijd maar zijn best doen zo goed als hij kan, als hij kan

Willem gaat nooit stappen met de jongens
Rookt geen sigaret, nooit na twaalven naar bed
Een karakterjongen geen gevoel voor de bal ben je mal
Nooit een probleem voor de trainer, nooit een kwaie kop
Ook al zat ie op de bank uit zijn slof geschoten
Ben je mal geen gevoel voor de bal

Willem moet het hebben van zijn loopvermogen
Willem is een stille eigenlijk niet zoveel aan
Willem klaagt niet Willem doet zijn mond nooit open
Altijd maar zijn best doen zo goed als hij kan, als hij kan

Willem is de bezem van het middenveld
Zwoegen, schaven schoppen is het enige dat telt
Voor maar weinig geld, geen gevoel voor de bal ben je mal
Luistert heel goed naar de trainer, maar kent zijn opdracht al
Het is alles wat ie kan, schakel uit die man geen gevoel de bal ben je mal

Willem moet het hebben van zijn loopvermogen
Willem is een stille eigenlijk niet zoveel aan
Willem klaagt niet Willem doet zijn mond nooit open
Altijd maar zijn best doen zo goed als hij kan

Willem moet het hebben van zijn loopvermogen
Willem is een stille eigenlijk niet zoveel aan
Willem klaagt niet Willem doet zijn mond nooit open
Altijd maar zijn best doen zo goed als hij kan

Willem moet het hebben van zijn loopvermogen
Willem is een stille eigenlijk niet zoveel aan
Willem klaagt niet Willem doet zijn mond nooit open
Altijd maar zijn best doen zo goed als hij kan

Mixed Emotions (The Rolling Stones)


Mixed Emotions
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones



Button your lip baby
Button your coat
Let's go out dancing
Go for the throat
Let's bury the hatchet
Wipe out the past
Make love together
Stay on the path

You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean

This coming and going
Is driving me nuts
This to-ing and fro-ing
Is hurting my guts
So get off the fence
It's creasing your butt
Life is a party
Let's get out and strut

You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean

You're not the only one
That's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Let's grab the world
By the scruff of the neck
And drink it down deeply
Let's love it to death

So button your lip
And button your coat
Let's go out and dancing
Let's rock and roll

You're not the only one
With mixed emotions
You're not the only ship
Adrift on this ocean

You're not the only one
That's feeling lonesome
You're not the only one
With mixed emotions

Gee


Gee
Composer(s): Dick Flood
Performer(s): George Hamilton IV



Gee, I saw the sweetest girl last night
I wonder if she even noticed me
Gee, I wish I hadn't been so shy
I guess I missed the chance of a lifetime
Oh Gee-ee

I only saw her for a little while
I held my breath as she passed so close to me
Gee, I wanted to catch her with a smile
All I could do was stand there
Oh Gee-ee

One brief moment was all I had
I tingled with excitement for more
But one precious moment was all I had
To find just what I'd been searchin' for

Gee, I hardly closed my eyes last night
With her on my mind, I just couldn't fall asleep
Why did I ever let her out o' sight
I guess I missed the chance of a lifetime
Oh Gee-ee

I guess I missed the chance of a lifetime
Oh Gee-ee

Where you are, that’s where I wanna be
And through your eyes, all the things I wanna see
And in the night, you are my dream
You’re everything to me

You’re the love of my life
And the breath in my prayers
Take my hand, lead me there

I can’t forget the taste of your mouth
From your lips the heavens pour out
I can’t forget when we are one
With you alone I am free

Everyday, every night, you alone
You’re the love of my life
Everyday, every night, you alone
You’re the love of my life

We go dancing in the moonlight
With the starlight in your eyes
We go dancing till the sunrise
You and me we’re gonna dance, dance, dance
