Mr. Ed


Mr. Ed
Composer(s): Ray Evans; Jay Livingston
Performer(s): Jay Livingston; Earl Sykes



A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And no one can talk to a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed

Go right to the source and ask the horse
He'll give you the answer that you'll endorse
He's always on a steady course
Talk to Mr. Ed

People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mister Ed will never speak unless he has something to say

A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And this one'll talk 'til his voice is hoarse
You never heard of a talking horse?

Well listen to this
I am Mister Ed

Gli Amici Miei


Gli Amici Miei
Composer(s): Roberto Vecchioni
Performer(s): Roberto Vecchioni



In questa storia che diventa tempo
in questo tempo che diventa amore
ho conosciuto ragazze ridenti fuggenti
nel giro di poche ore
e con due ali di cera mi sono permesso
di andare a toccare il sole
qualche sorriso di madre fa
crescere in fretta
fa bene alla pelle e al cuore
che è tutto da dimostrare
ho ereditato la terra che aveva mio padre
ovvero le sue parole
e guardo l'alba che insegue il tramonto
che insegue la notte per far l'amore
e sento te che mi riempi la stanza
e la vita
ché niente può farmi male
e penso
Dove saranno gli amici miei
quelli del tempo che c'era lei?
come vorrei... cosa darei...
dove saranno gli amici miei?

amore, amore, tienimi forte la mano
e aiutami a ricordare
io sono un piccolo uomo sotto un
piccolo vetro
che non si può più spezzare
vorrei mandare in frantumi
memoria, pensieri, almeno per un saluto
e avere ancora vent'anni, ancora
tutto da dire per un minuto

E chiudo gli occhi più forte del tempo
però tu non mi lasciare
e all'improvviso li vedo
lontani, vicini
gli stessi di mille sere
e sento tutte le voci
la dolce, l'acuta, la tenue la disperata
e devo chiedere scusa a qualcuno
ricordo... ma forse è una puttanata
stasera

Tornano tutti gli amici miei
forse non sono partiti mai
erano qui dentro di me
e non l'avevo capito mai
tornano tutti gli amici miei
noi non ci siamo lasciati mai
e sono qui dentro di me
tornano tutti gli amici miei

Hey, Mr. Dream Merchant
Everything depends on you
Oh, hey, Mr. Dream Merchant
Bring him back to me
And make my dreams come true

When I said goodbye
To my love
I didn't mean to make him cry
I didn't realise that I had love
Now I need him by my side

Oh, hey, Mr. Dream Merchant
Everything depends on you
Oh, hey, Mr. Dream Merchant
Bring him back to me
And make my dreams come true

You should have told this fool
To stop it
You should have made this blind girl see
I got my pride back in my pocket
Won't you bring him back to me?

Oh, hey, Mr. Dream Merchant
Everything depends on you
Oh, hey, Mr. Dream Merchant
Can't you make him see
We need each other?
I'm no good alone
I really really, really love him
Bring him back to me
And make my dreams come true

Oh, hey, Mr. Dream Merchant
Can't you make him see

Gli Altri Siamo Noi


Gli Altri Siamo Noi
English Title: We Are All The Same
Composer(s): Giancarlo Bigazzi; Umberto Tozzi
Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi



Non sono stato mai più solo di così
è notte ma vorrei che fosse presto lunedì
con gli altri insieme a me per fare la città
con gli altri chiusi in se che si aprono al sole come fiori quando
si risvegliano, si rivestono quando escono, partono, arrivano
ci somigliano, angeli avvoltoi
come specchi gli occhi nei volti
perché gli altri siamo noi

I muri vanno giù al soffio di un'idea
Allah come Gesù in chiesa o dentro una moschea
e gli altri siamo noi, ma qui sulla stessa via
vigliaccamente eroi, lasciamo indietro i pezzi di altri noi
che ci aspettano e si chiedono perché nascono e subito muoiono
forse rondini, foglie d'Africa, ci sorridono di malinconia
tutti vittime di carnefici
tanto prima o poi gli altri siamo noi
Quando cantano, quando cadono, gli altri siamo noi
In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi
Quando nascono, quando muoiono, gli altri siamo noi
Gli altri siamo noi
Noi che stiamo in comodi deserti
di appartamenti e di tranquillità
lontani dagli altri, ma tanto prima o poi
gli altri siamo noi
In questo mondo piccolo oramai
gli altri siamo noi

Si gli altri siamo noi
fra gli Indios e gli Indù
ragazzi in farmacia che ormai non ce la fanno più
famiglie di operai licenziati dai robot
e zingari dell'est in villette di periferia
siamo tutti vittime dei carnefici
tanto prima o poi gli altri siamo noi
In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi
Quando sparano, quando sperano, gli altri siamo noi
In questo mondo piccolo oramai
gli altri siamo noi
In questo mondo gli altri siamo noi

Slow down, you move too fast
You got to make the morning last
Just kicking down the cobble stones
Looking for fun and feelin' groovy

Hello lamppost
What cha knowing?
I've come to watch your flowers growing
Ain't cha got no rhymes for me?
Doot-in' doo-doo
Feelin' groovy

Got no deeds to do, No promises to keep
I'm dappled and drowsy and ready to sleep
Let the morning time drop all its petals on me
Life, I love you
All is groovy

Mr. Dieingly Sad


Mr. Dieingly Sad
Composer(s): Don Ciccone; The Critters
Performer(s): The Critters;
Lou Christie; Albert Garcia



Just a breeze will muss your hair
But you smile away each little care
And if the rain should make you blue
You say tomorrow is anew
Blue be your eyes, blonde your hair
You realize beyond a care
Life's in a hurry, but
You've got no worry, you're
So mystifyingly glad
I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad

And when the leaves begin to fall
Answering old winter's call
I feel my tears, they fall like rain
Weeping forth the sad refrain
Blue, dark, and dim it may seem
You mark a grin, a moonbeam
Brightens your smile, pray tell me
How all the while you can be
So mystifyingly glad
I'm Mr. Dieingly Sad

You say "take my hand and walk with me
Wake this land and stop the sea
Show me love, unlock
All doors
I'm yours"

Then the tide rolls up to shore
I whisper low, "I love you more
More than even you could know"
Adore me do so I could show

I'm so mystifyingly glad
Not Mr. Dieingly Sad

(Mr. Dieingly Sad) Mr. Dieingly Sad

Glendora


Glendora
Composer(s): Ray Stanley
Performer(s): Perry Como;
and various other artists



I'm in love with a dolly named Glendora
She works in the winda' of a big department store-a
Eyes of blue, hair like gold
Never been young, but she'll never get old
Oh, Glendora, I wanna see more of you

Oh, Glendora
Oh, Glendora
Oh, Glendora, I wanna see more of you

She's so shy that I don't know how I found her
With three big body guards always working around her
One just nods, and two just grins and three's got a mouth full of safety pins
Oh, Glendora, I wanna see more of you

(You, more of you
Oh, Glendora
Oh, Glendora
Oh, Glendora, I wanna see more of you
More of you)

I stand left, and I stand right
Out of my head, 'cause I'm out of sight
Oh, Glendora, I wanna see more of you

Late last night at the store they did some changin'
And I stood watchin' when they started re-arrangin'
She lost her wig, she lost her arms
And when they got through
She lost all of her charms
Oh, Glendora, what did they do to you

(What'd they do
What'd they do
What'd they do
Oh, oh, Glendora
Oh, Glendora
Or, Glendora, oh, what did they do to you
What'd they do
What'd they do
What'd they do
Oh, oh, Glendora
Oh, oh, Glendora
Oh, Glendora, oh, what did they do to you
Do to you
Oh, what did they do to you)

Oh, Glendora, what did they do to you

Mr. Custer


Mr. Custer
Composer(s): Fred Darian; Al DeLory; Joseph Van Winkle
Performer(s): Larry Verne; Charlie Drake



(That famous day in history)
(The men of the 7th Cavalry went riding on)
(And from the rear a voice was heard)
(A brave young man with a trembling word rang loud and clear)

What am I doin' here?

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Hey, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
I had a dream last night about the comin' fight
Somebody yelled "Attack!"
And there I stood with a arrow in my back

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
(Forward, Ho-o-o-o-o!) Oooohhhh

Look at them bushes out there, they're movin'
And there's a injun behind every one
Hey, Mr. Custer, you mind if I be excused the rest of the afternoon?
Hey Charlie, Duck Yer Head!!
(Sound of arrow whizzing by)
Hmm, you're a little bit late on that one, Charlie
Whooh, I bet that smarts!

(They were sure of victory
(The men of the 7th Cavalry, as they rode on)
(But then from the rear a voice was heard)
(That same brave voice with the trembling word rang loud and clear)

What am I doin' here?

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Listen, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
There's a redskin waitin' out there, just fixin to take my hair
A coward I've been called, cuz I don't wanna wind up dead or bald

Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
(Forward, Ho-o-o-o-o!) Oooohhhh

I wonder what the injun word for friend is
Let's see....friend.....kemo sabe, that's it
Kemo Sabe!, Hey Out There, Kemo Sabe!

No, that itn't it
Look at 'em out there
Runnin' around like a bunch of wild Indians, heh-heh
Nah, this ain't no time for jokin'

Glaub An Mich


Glaub An Mich ((French Version: Sur Ma Vie (by Charles Aznavour)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Bader Performer(s): Dalida



Glaub an mich ein ganzes leben lang
Und vertrau auf mich ein ganzes leben lang
Sagtest du zu mir und ich glaubte dir
Und ich habe dir alles gegeben

Jeder tag war wie ein neues glück
Jede stunde war voll liebe und musik
Doch der traum zerrann
Der so schön begann
Warum hast du mir so wehgetan

Tausend mal hab ich gefragt
Und du hast mir gesagt
Nur du kannst mich verstehn
Tausend mal versprach dein blick
Ich weiss das grosse Glück
Kann nie zu ende gehen

Ich bin dein trotz allem was geschah
Denn ich gab mein wort bin immer für dich da
Und ich liebe dich
Und ich glaub an dich
Nur an Dich ein ganzes leben lang

Ich bin dein an jedem neuen tag
Ich bin dein solang ich deinen namen trag
Ja-ich liebe dich
Darum warte ich
Wenn auch mancher schöne traum versank
Nur auf dich ein ganzes leben lang

Looking high
Looking low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you
'Cause Mr. Charlie told me so

Take a silver dime
Mix em both together

Voo-doo all night long

Chuba-chuba
Wooley-booley
Looking high
Looking low
Gonna scare you up and shoot you

Glass Securit


Glass Securit
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg



Tequila aquavit
Un glass securit
Pour prendre ton clit
A jeun je trouve ça limite
J'ai besoin d'une bit
Ure bien composite

Tequila aquavit
Je recherche Aphrodite
Froideur explicite
Ouais j'y vais sans hésit-
Ation mais pas d'excit-
Ation climax exit

Tequila aquavit
Que de langues sodomites
De doigts troglodytes
Des plombes que je te visite
Absence de coït
O.Kay on est quitte

Toi tu l'prends comme un rit-
Uel un plan habit-
Uel plus rien ne t excite
A jeun je trouve ça limite
J'ai besoin d'une bit-
Ure bien composite

Tequila aquavit
Mon verre securit
Eclate en petites
Particules j'évite
De les mettre en orbite
Sur ta chrysalide

Tequila aquavit
Plus de glass securit
Pour prendre ton clit
Je ne sais ce que nécessitent
Ton con et ton clit
Je suis perdu j'hésite

Oh et puis merde je quitte
Tes muqueuses shit
J'ouvre mon lexique
Mallarmé dixit
Je cite
Et dans ses jambes où la victime se couche
Levant une peau noire ouverte sous le crin
Avance le palais de cette étrange bouche
Pâle et rose comme un coquillage marin

Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Your magical kiss can take me just so far

Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me
Don't leave me like this -- dangling from a star

You set me all aglow, and it's so pleasin'
Sure would be a shame if you were only teasin'

So my Love, before you go
Turn the lights way down low

And talk to me, talk to me, talk to me

Mr. Businessman


Mr. Businessman
Composer(s): Ray Stevens
Originally performed by: Ray Stevens
Covered by various other artists



Itemize the things you covet
As you squander through your life
Bigger cars, bigger houses
Term insurance for your wife
Tuesday evenings with your harlot
And on Wednesdays it's your charlatan
analyst, he's high upon your list

You've got air conditioned sinuses
And dark disturbing doubts about religion
And you keep those cards and letters going out
While your secretary's tempting you
Your morals are exempting you from guilt and shame
Heaven knows you're not to blame

You better, take care of business Mr. Businessman
What's your plan?
Get down to business Mr. Businessman if you can
Before it's too late and you throw your life away

Did you see your children growing up today
And did you hear the music of their laughter
As they set about to play
Did you catch the fragrance of those roses in your garden
Did the morning sunlight warm your soul,
Brighten up your day
Do you qualify to be alive
or is the limit of your senses so as only to survive
Hey yeah.....

Spending counterfeit incentive
Wasting precious time and health
Placing value on the worthless
Disregarding priceless wealth
You can wheel and deal the best of them
And steal it from the rest of them
You know the score, their ethics are a bore

Eighty-six anesthetic crutches prop you to the top
Where the smiles are all synthetic
And the ulcers never stop
When they take that final inventory,
Yours will be the same sad story everywhere
No one will really care, no one more lonely than
This rich important man, let's have your autograph
Endorse your epitaph

You better, take care of business Mr. Businessman
What's your plan?
Get down to business Mr. Businessman if you can

I told you about strawberry fields
You know the place where nothing is real
Well here's another place you can go
Where everything flows
Looking through the bent backed tulips
To see how the other half live
Looking through a glass onion

I told you about the walrus and me, man
You know that we're as close as can be, man
Well here's another clue for you all
The walrus is Paul
Standing on the cast iron shore, yeah
Lady Madonna trying to make ends meet, yeah
Looking through a glass onion
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Looking through a glass onion

I told you about the fool on the hill
I tell you man he's living there still
Well here's another place you can be
Listen to me
Fixing a hole in the ocean
Tryin' to make a dovetail joint
Looking through a glass onion

Mr. Bojangles


Mr. Bojangles
Composer(s): Jerry Jeff Walker
Originally performed by: Jerry Jeff Walker
Covered by various other artists



I knew a man, Bojangles and he danced for you
In worn out shoes
Silver hair, a ragged shirt and baggy pants
The old soft shoe
He jumped so high
He jumped so high
Then he'd lightly touch down

I met him in a cell in New Orleans, I was
Down and out
He looked to me to be the eyes of age
As he spoke right out
He talked of life
He talked of life
He laughed, clicked his heels and stepped

He said his name, Bojangles and he danced a lick
Across the cell
He grabbed his pants, a better stance
Oh, he jumped so high
Then he clicked his heels
He let go a laugh
He let go a laugh
Pushed back his clothes all around
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Mr. Bojangles
Dance

He danced for those in minstral shows and county fairs
Throughout the south
He spoke with tears of fifteen years how his dog and him
Traveled about
The dog up and died
He up and died
After twenty years he still grieves

He said I dance now at every chance in honky tonks
For drinks and tips
But most the time I spend behind these county bars
He said I drinks a bit
He shook his head
And as he shook his head
I heard someone ask him please
Please
Mr. Bojangles

Fools rush in, so here I am
Awfully glad to be unhappy
I can't win but here I am
More than glad to be unhappy
