Mr. President (Have Pity On The Working Man)


Mr. President (Have Pity On The Working Man)
Composer(s): Randy Newman
Performer(s): Randy Newman;
Saint Paul & His Coalition of the Willing



We've taken all you've given
It's getting hard to make a living
Mister President, have pity on the working man

We ain't asking you to love us
You may place yourself high above us
Mister President, have pity on the working man

I know it may sound funny
But people ev'rywhere running out of money
We just cant make it by ourself

It is cold and the wind is blowing
We need something to keep us going
Mister President have pity on the working man

Maybe you're cheap
Maybe you're blind
Maybe you have lost your mind
Maybe you only think about yourself

Too late to run, too late to cry now
The time has come to say goodbye now
Mister President, have pity on the working man
Mister President, have pity on the working man

Go All The Way


Go All The Way
Composer(s): Eric Carmen
Performer(s): The Raspberries;
and various other artists



I never knew how complete love could be
Till she kissed me and said
"Baby, please go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go"

I couldn't say what I wanted to say
Till she whispered, "I love you so
Please go all the way
It feels so right
Being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go"

Before her love I was cruel and mean
I had a hole in the place where my heart should have been
But now I've changed
And it feels so strange
I come alive when she does all those things to me
And she says
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"Come on" (Come on)
"I need you" (Come on)
"I love you" (Come on)
"I need you" (Come on)

Please, go all the way
It feels so right being with you here tonight
Please, go all the way
Just hold me close
Don't ever let me go

Go all the way

Oh my God here U are
Prettiest thing in life I've ever seen
Close my eyes what's it like
What's it like inside your tamborine?

Falling in love with the face in a magazine (uh oh, not again)
All alone by myself
Me and I play my tamborine

Guess that I'll stay at home
All alone and play my tamborine (aww)

How can I tell you about my past
If all things won`t end

To get back to her
And I m gonna sing this song to you

(And I wanna tell you everything is going through my mind)
And I want to sing

And I want to sing this song with you
(And I wanna sing this song to everyone)
'Cause I want them to understand what I'm talkin' about
I want you to understand what I`m sayin'......

Go Ahead On
Composer(s): Jimmy Heap; Cecil Harris
Performer(s): Jimmy Heap; Ronnie Hayward



You're standing there lying, but I ain't buying
So, go ahead on (Go ahead on)
You teases me, you pretty thing
What I thought you is, you ain't
So, go ahead on (Go ahead on)
And have your say

Gal, pack your trunk, they call you junk
Go ahead on (Go ahead on)
There's lots of skirts in this town
To keep ol' daddy plumbin' down
So, go ahead on (Go ahead on)
Be on your way

I couldn't get nowhere, you're so frigid there
So, go ahead on (Go ahead on)
You can't hold a candlestick
You must be a suburban chick
So, go ahead on (Go ahead on)
And have your say

Don't flip your flap, just shut your trap
And go ahead on (Go ahead on)
Don't make no steppings in those bars
And don't call daddy, don't be cross
Just go ahead on (Go ahead on)
Be on your way

Passei esse tempo todo
Andando comigo
E só devo lhe dizer que tenho
Esse sentimento antigo
Uma vez por ano no Natal
Eles compram meus lindos cabelos

Ele compram meus lindos cabelos
E pensam que me conhecem
Mas só me entristecem
Tambores, tambores, tambores...
E um coração apaixonado

Tambores, tambores, tambores
E o meu pobre coração

Já não cabe de ter saudade

Go Ahead And Cry


Go Ahead And Cry
Composer(s): Bill Medley
Performer(s): The Righteous Brothers



(Love can make a young boy into man)
(But a broken heart can change a young man
into a boy again)

You're not the first man to cry
When things have gone wrong
You're human, you're only so strong
(It takes one) Little tear to knock a big man down
(It takes one) Broken heart to keep him down on the ground
It takes three little words, to make him stand again
(Stand up again)

So, go ahead and cry, go ahead and cry
Go ahead and cry

Love is so easy to play, but so hard to win
You're still a young man, you're heart will love again
(It takes one) Little kiss from her sweet tender lips
(It takes one) Gentle touch from her soft fingertips
It takes more than one tear, to mend a broken heart
(A broken heart)

Go ahead and cry, go ahead and cry
Go ahead and cry, go ahead, go ahead
Go ahead and cry
I want you to get down on your knees and (Cry)
Kneel down baby
When you're feelin' blue I want you to (Cry)
Don't be ashamed to (Cry)

Tamandaré


Tamandaré
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Zé qualquer tava sem samba, sem dinheiro
Sem Maria sequer
Sem qualquer paradeiro
Quando encontrou um samba
Inútil e derradeiro
Numa inútil e derradeira
Velha nota de um cruzeiro

``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante
Do semblante meio contrariado
Que fazes parado
No meio dessa nota de um cruzeiro rasgado
``Seu Marquês'', ``seu'' Almirante
Sei que antigamente era bem diferente
Desculpe a liberdade
E o samba sem maldade
Deste Zé qualquer
Perdão Marquês de Tamandaré
Pedrão Marquês de Tamandaré

Pois é, Tamandaré
A maré não tá boa
Vai virar a canoa
E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré
Cadê as batalhas
Cadê as medalhas
Cadê a nobreza
Cadê a marquesa, cadê
Não diga que o vento levou
Teu amor até

Pois é, Tamandaré
A maré não tá boa
Vai virar a canoa
E este mar não dá pé, Tamandaré
Meu marquês de papel
Cadê teu troféu
Cadê teu valor
Meu caro almirante
O tempo inconstante roubou

Zé quaquer tornou-se amigo do marquês
Solidário na dor
Que eu contei a vocês
Menos que queira ou mais faça
É o fim do samba, é o fim da raça
Zé qualquer tá caducando
Desvalorizando
Como o tempo passa, passando
Virando fumça, virando
Caindo em desgraça, caindo
Sumindo, saindo da praça
Passando, sumindo
Saindo da praça

I pray and pray more each day
because we love you

Glück Ist Wie Ein Schmetterling


Glück Ist Wie Ein Schmetterling ((Adapted from: Love Is Like A Butterfly (by Dolly Parton) - 1974)) Composer(s): Dolly Parton - Ralf Arnie Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1977 Versions In Other Languages: 1976 - La Récréation (by Nana Mouskouri) 1998 - Bloem En Bij (by Mieke)



Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling
Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon
Sowie ein bunter Luftballon
Den man nicht halten kann

Es ist mein allerliebster Gast
Der leider fortgeht ab und zu
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling
Und mein Glück bist nur du

Ich spür in deiner Nähe
Wie gut ich dich verstehe
Und wär so gern für immer
Und alle Zeit bei dir

Doch wenn ich ganz alleine bin
Und traurig und ganz klein bin
Mit meinen dummen Träumen
Dann sage ich zu mir

Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling
Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon
Sowie ein bunter Luftballon
Den man nicht halten kann

Es ist mein allerliebster Gast
Der leider fortgeht ab und zu
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling
Und mein Glück bist nur du

Ich schaue in den Garten
Wo tausend Blumen warten
Das sie sich wärmen können
Im Sommersonnenschein

Dann kommen bunte Falter
Als ihre Unterhalter
Doch bringt ein Tag nur Regen
Dann bleiben sie allein

Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling
Es kommt zu dir und fliegt davon
Sowie ein bunter Luftballon
Den man nicht halten kann

Es ist mein allerliebster Gast
Der leider fortgeht ab und zu
Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling
Und mein Glück bist nur du

Glück ist wie ein Schmetterling
Und mein Glück bist nur du

Mr. Moon


Mr. Moon
Composer(s): Hugh Nicholson
Performer(s): Blue



Last night Mr. Moon came calling
He laid his silver just as sun was falling
Sprinkled sparkling stardust in the sky
So I pulled up close to the riverside
Picked some sticks for firelight
And sat and watched the sparks flying high

Oh, and it made me feel good
Just to watch the burning wood
As I sat and looked at my reflection
Well I know I'm not so trouble free
But on that night, I had to be
The stars they commanded me to smile

Oh, and it made me feel good
Just to watch the burning wood
As I sat and looked on my reflection
Well I maybe right and I maybe wrong
But I got music for a little song
When I gazed upon the magic moonlight night

Glory Glory


Glory Glory
Composer(s): Eddie Brigati; Felix Cavaliere
Performer(s): The Rascals



I saw a child
He was carrying a light
I asked where it came from
He blew it right out
His eyes looked into me
His voice was a song
He said tell me tell me do you
Know where it's gone

(Chorus)
Glory, Glory
My eyes have seen the mountain
My soul can sing the song
Glory, Glory
Singing Hallelujah
The truth is marching on

Every morn' the sun lights us all
The trees ask for nothing
They just let their fruit fall
Fire's the same no matter
What the source
The flame of life burns on
It's never, never lost

(Repeat chorus)

Mr. Monday


Mr. Monday
Composer(s): Dennis Lambert; Brian Potter



He gets up at eight o’clock
On cold clear winter days
He eats his food at half past eight
And clears the pots away
He drives his car in the city streets
And he meets along the way
A lot of tall dark people
Who stand there all the day
He’s Mister Monday
He works all day from nine to five
He’s Mister Monday
He lives alone in the city
I see him in the evening
I pass him at the door
I say, “Hello, how are you?”
And I know he’s very poor
He looks at the street through his window
He watches the people pass by
He loves little dogs and children
And he never tells a lie
He’s Mister Monday ...

Glory Of Love
Composer(s): Peter Cetera;
David Foster; Diane Nini
Performer(s): Peter Cetera



Tonight it's very clear
Cause we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I will never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't want to lose you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone

I am a man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you've been dreaming of
We'll live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

It's like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away

I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that you're dreaming of
We're gonna live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

We live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love

We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love
We did it all for love...

I had a friend who was a big baseball player
back in high school

I was walking in, he was walking out
we went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about

glory days in the wink of a young girls eye
glory days, glory days

well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boys heads
sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
her and her husband Bobby, well they split up
I guess its two years gone by now
we just sit around talking about the old times
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing, thinking about

chorus

my old man worked 20 years on the line
and they let him go
now everywhere he goes out looking for work
they just tell him that he's too old

now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall
but I can tell what's on his mind

and I'm going to drink tI'll I get my fI'll
