My Baby Just Cares For Me


My Baby Just Cares For Me
Composer(s): Walter Donaldson; Gus Kahn
Originally performed by: Ethel Shutta
Covered by various other artists



My baby don't care for shows
My baby don't care for clothes
My baby just cares for me

My baby don't care for cars and races
My baby don't care for high tone places

Elizabeth Taylor is not his style
And even Ricky Martin's smile
Is something he can't see
My baby don't care who knows it
My baby just cares for me

I wonder what's wrong with baby
My baby just cares for
He just says his prayers for
My baby just cares
For me

Golondrinas De Metal


Golondrinas De Metal
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Hace mucho tiempo te quería perdón
por cercar tu cuerpo por venderlo a un buen postor
Por tomar tus frutos sin dar gracias a Dios
Por las huellas sin razón

Tu cuerpo era verde, tu cuerpo era azul
Hoy tu piel está tallada en asfalto gris
Selvas de cemento que el cielo quieren tocar
de más alto caerán

Madre Tierra
no debes llorar
porque la Humanidad
pronto cambiará
Madre Tierra
no debes temblar
porque la humanidad
calor te dará

Madre hoy te vuelan golondrinas de metal
aves que no cantan y que saben pelear
Hasta ,la cigüeña ha dejado de volar
Nadie la quiere esperar

Madre hoy el tiempo se ha escapado del reloj
y una paloma va volando hacia el sol
En sus alas lleva nostalgias del calor
que en la tierra no encontró

Madre Tierra
no debes llorar
porque la Humanidad
pronto cambiará
Madre Tierra
no debes temblar
porque la humanidad
calor te dará

Te Amaré (Fernando Ubiergo)


Te Amaré
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Te amaré
porque eres una más
en esta gran ciudad
sólo una más

Te amaré
porque en la calle vas
callada sin hablar
y sin mirar

Te amaré
pequeña entre un millón
porque quiero oír tu voz
porque yo te puedo ver

Y te amaré porque en esta ciudad
tú eres todo lo que puedo amar
y buscaré un lugar a nuestro amor
para que un día pueda ver el sol

Te amaré
porque en la multitud
aún sigues siendo tú
en la ciudad

Golondrinas


Golondrinas
Composer(s): Carlos Gardel; Alfredo LePera
Performer(s): Carlos Gardel



Golondrinas de un solo verano
con ansias constantes de cielo lejano
alma criolla, errante y viajera
querer detenerla es una quimera
Golondrina con fiebre en las alas
peregrina, borracha de emoción
siempre sueña con otros caminos
la brújula loca de tu corazón

Criollita de mi pueblo
pebeta de mi barrio
la golondrina un día
su vuelo detendrá
no habrá nube en sus ojos
de vagas lejanías
y en sus brazos amantes
su nido construirá
Su anhelo de distancia
se aquietará en su boca
con la dulce fragancia
de su viejo querer
Criollita de mi pueblo
pebeta de mi barrio
con las alas plegadas
también yo he de volver

En tus rutas que cruzan los mares
florece una estela azul de cantares
y al conjuro de nuevos paisajes
suena intensamente tu claro cordaje
En tu eterno sembrar de armonías
tierras lejanas te vieron pasar
otras lunas siguieron tu huella
tu solo destino es siempre volar

Rockin', rollin', rockin', rollin', rockin'
N'rollin' and really havin' fun

My Arms Stay Open All Night


My Arms Stay Open All Night
Composer(s): Paul Overstreet; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Tanya Tucker



I know you like the night-life, the parties and the fun
You like to hang around until the last song has been sung
So I have made arrangements and I wanted you to know
When all the laughter's ended, there's still somewhere you can go

My arms stay open all night
From sundown 'til the morning light
Hopin' you can find where you belong
I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed
You're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight
My arms stay open all night

Please don't think I'm crazy, I haven't lost my mind
But when it comes to lovin' you, I can always find the time
So if it's after midnight, or just before the break of day
Anytime you need me, it'll never be too late

'Cos my arms stay open all night
From sundown 'til the morning light
Hopin' you can find where you belong
I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed
You're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight
My arms stay open all night

When all your so-called friends go home
You don't ever have to be alone

'Cos my arms stay open all night
From sundown 'til the morning light
Hopin' you can find where you belong
I leave the lights on
My heart is never closed
You're the only love it knows
The one dream I have is to hold you tight
My arms stay open all night

My arms stay open all night

Golliwog


Golliwog
English & Swedish Titles:
Sweetheart; Gulleplutt
Composer(s): Agnetha Fältskog; Bosse Carlgren
Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



You're not the good kind, the soft and sweet kind
I don't think mom would like your smile
The way my ears ring, the way my arms cling
I know that your kind drives me wild

Golliwog
Oooh the way you kiss is really slap-dash, Golliwog
Love me, love me!
Fire, fire
Something's burning, something's burning
Something's burning, oooh, something's burning!

I know that you're a brute
Always raw and rude and crude
But wow, your cheeky ways get me right in the mood!

Yeah, you do make me feel all right
So please just hold me, hold me tight
You can stay here with me, you can stay here with me
Tell me please that you'll stay all night

You're not the true kind, the only-you kind
I guess my mom would say you're bad
The way you make love, the way you take love
I know that your kind drives me mad

Golliwog
Oooh the way you kiss is really slap-dash, Golliwog
Love me, love me!
Fire, fire
Something's burning, something's burning
Something's burning, oooh, something's burning!

I know that you're a brute
Always raw and rude and crude
But wow, your cheeky ways get me right in the mood!

My American Beauty Rose


My American Beauty Rose
Composer(s): Harry H. Zickel



You may talk about your girlies, girlies here and everywhere
Girls from Norway, Sweden, Italy, and Spain
Saffron girls from far off China, German girls with flaxen hair
Girls from Russia, Turkey, pretty girls and plain...
Not for me your English beauty, or your girl with wooden shoes
And for me the girls of France no longer pose
While the Scotch and Irish lassies, really, I must now refuse
For my own, my fair American Beauty Rose...

She is regal in her beauty, she is queenly in her grace
Yet there's warmth and love and passion in her heart ...
And a smile of true affection seems to glorify her face
As I read the message, "only death can part"
Take the charms of all the dear ones, all that's sweetest, all that's best
'Till you've found the fairest, rarest, Flow'r that grows
In this sum of all perfection, glowing far above the rest
You will find my own American Beauty Rose

Oh you loving, happy Yankee girl....
You're the one who sets my heart awhirl ...
You are charming, pretty, wise and kind
And a dearer, sweeter one no man can find ...
In your glorious cheeks and skin and eyes ...
Our Red, White and Blue so bravely flies .....
And my heart's all for you
You're true blue thru and thru
You're my own American Beauty Rose

Te Acuerdas María


Te Acuerdas María
Composer(s): Augusto Algueró
Performer(s): Nino Bravo



Te acuerdas María
Que yo te cantaba
Sentado a la sombra del viejo molino

Te acuerdas María
Te miraban las aguas correr
Tus ojos morenos flotando en el río

Que ayer nos amamos
Creciendo en los valles
Por los pastizales robaba tus besos
Tu pelo muy suelto jugaba en el viento
Y yo te queria
con todo mi tiempo

Te acuerdas María
Que yo te quería
Te acuerdas María
Qué noche más triste
Cuando me dijiste
Que tú te marchabas
María, María

Hoy sólo nos queda el recuerdo
Y el murmullo del viento
Que sigue diciendo
Te acuerdas María

Te acuerdas María
Te acuerdas María

You Don't Know (What It's Like To Be Near)


You Don't Know (What It's Like To Be Near)
Composer(s): Werner Theunissen
Performer(s): Pussycat



If you say, that this life
has a point to arrive
you don't know what it's like to be here
and if you think that time
heals all troubles of mine
you don't know what it's like to be near

('Cause) I've been trying so hard to get by
but I've lost every move I could try
All I'm asking from you
is just look around too
and feel me

Now if you say our cast
needs the future, the past
you don't know what it's like to be here
and if you think, that I've every chance to survive
you don't know what it's like to be near

('Cause) I've been trying so hard to get by
but I've lost every move I could try
All I'm asking from you
is just look around too
and feel me

Here's a chance you could grow
now I need your loving so
but you don't know what it's like to be near

Gold Watch Blues


Gold Watch Blues
Composer(s): Mick Softley
Performer(s): Donovan; Mick Softley



I went up for my interview on the fourth day of July
First old man he questioned me until I nearly cried
Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and if my cousin's queer

Chorus:

Here's your goldwatch and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work for fifty years

Chorus

He asked me how many jobs I'd had before
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered, four
Four jobs in twenty years, oh, this can never be
We only take on men who work until they die

Chorus

He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line
This is where we bury them in quick-stone and in lime
And if you come to work for us on this you must agree
That if you're going to die please do it during tea

Chorus

This story that you heard you may think rather queer
But it is the truth you'll be surprised to hear
I did not want no job upon the board
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the bloody floor

Chorus

Te Acordarás De Mi


Te Acordarás De Mi
Composer(s): P. Ruiz - M. de la Calva - R. Arcusa
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Aunque el corazón te diga a gritos
que hay en tu horizonte un nuevo sol
aunque tus deseos infinitos
traten de encontrar un nuevo amor
Aunque nuestros ojos no se abracen
ni hablen nuestros cuerpos con pasión
aunque grites para convencerte
que no queda nada entre los dos
Te acordarás de mi, te acordarás de mi
aunque no quieras tú te acordarás de mi
Te acordarás de mi, te acordarás de mi
aunque te duela tú te acordarás de mi
Aunque te engalanes de sonrisas
y quieras mostrarte muy feliz
aunque si me ves pases de prisa
yo no estoy detrás estoy en ti
Aunque te repitas cada noche
que como tu amante fracase
que no te hacen falta mis caricias
que es una mentira de los dos
Te acordarás de mi, te acordarás de mi
aunque no quieras tú te acordarás de mi
Te acordarás de mi, te acordarás de mi
aunque te duela tú te acordarás de mi
Te acordarás de mi, te acordarás de mi
aunque no quieras tú te acordarás de mi
Te acordarás de mi, te acordarás de mi
aunque te duela tú te acordarás de mi
Te acordarás de mi, te acordarás de mi
aunque no quieras tú te acordarás de mi

Goldmine


Goldmine
Composer(s): Andy Goldmark; Bruce Roberts
Performer(s): the Pointer Sisters



Flowers arrive
Who else whould think of that but my guy
He's all heart and all mine
Ooh, and I don't have to be Miss Perfect One
For him to love what he sees
I can feel it in the little things he does
What I found he's every woman's dream

My baby he's a goldmine
Ooh, what he does just keeps my heart in love
My baby he's a goldmine
Ooh, all he does just keeps me here in love

Five times a day
He calls me up to say, "How ya doin' babe"
He's just that way
Leaves me little notes by my coffee cup
The sweetest poetry to me
Ooh and every night he tells me with his touch
The way he moves just makes me want to scream

His eyes were fire, my heart was cold
My arms were ready for new love to hold
He makes me feel something that I've never known
When you find someone like him, you don't let go

Girl's got a goldmine and he's so fine
Girl's got a goldmine and he's all mine
Baby's got a goldmine, treats me so kind
Loves me rain or shine
My baby's divine

I can feel the little things that he does
What I found is every woman's dream

Tchepone


Tchepone
Composer(s): Chuck Rosenberg - Robin Thomas - Toby Hughes
Performer(s): Toby Hughes



I was hanging 'round Ops
just spending my time
not on the schedule
not earning a dime
When a colonel steps up
and he says I suppose
you fly a fighter by the cut
of your clothes
He figures me right
'm, a good one I say

Do you happen to have me
a target today?
He says Yes I do, a real easy one
No sweat my boy
it's an old time milk run

I gets all excited
and ask where it's at
He gives me a wink
and a tip of his hat

Two-fifty miles away from home drome
a sweet little hamlet that's known as
Tchepone

Oh, you'll sure love Tchepone

I get on my G-suit
and strap on my gun
Helmet and gloves
out the door on the run
Fire up my Phantom
and take to the air
Two's tucked in tight
and we haven't a care
In forty five minutes
we're over the town
From twenty eight thousand
we're screaming on down
Arm up the switches
and dial in the mils
Rack up the wings
and roll in for the kill

I feel a bit sorry
for folks down below
Of destruction that's coming
they surely don't know

The thought passes quickly
We know a war's on
On down we scream
toward peaceful Tchepone

Unsuspecting, peaceful Tchepone
Release altitude
and the pipper's not right
I'll press just a little
and lay 'em in tight

I pickle those beauties
at two point five grand
I'm starting my pull
when it all hits the fan

A black puff in front
and then two off the right
Six or eight more
and I suck it up tight
There's small arms and tracer
and heavy ack ack
It's scattered to broken
with all kinds of flack

I jink hard to left
and head out for the blue
My wingman says
Lead, they're shooting at you!

No Bull, I cry as I point it for home
Still comes the fire
from the town of Tchepone

Dirty, deadly Tchepone

I make it back home
with six holes in my bird
With the colonel that sent me
I'd sure like a word
He's nowhere around
though I look near and far
He's gone back to Seventh
to help run the war
I've been round this country
for many a day
I've seen all the things
that they're throwing my way

I know that there's places
I don't like to go
down in the Delta
and in Tally Ho

But I'll bet all my flight pay
the jock ain't been born
Who can keep all his cool
when he's over Tchepone

Oh, don't go to Tchepone

Goldfish
Composer(s): Roy Harper
Performer(s): Roy Harper



Little goldfish in your bowl
I've dug you all day long
Yellow scales arising
Through the ceiling of my song

Little bee sat on your flower
A-swaying in the breeze
Funny little furry voice
A-buzzing through the leaves

Little bird sat upon your twig
Your sounds ring through my ears
We can reach the sunrise
Through the morning's hopes and fears

Crazed blue-eyed starry-minded
fluffly little ball
Oh little baby on my knee
I love you most of all

First release by: The Beatles - 1966
Covered by multiple other artists



Let me tell you how it will be
There's one for you, nineteen for me
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Should five per cent appear too small
Be thankful I don't take it all
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah I'm the taxman

If you drive a car, I'll tax the street
If you try to sit, I'll tax your seat
If you get too cold I'll tax the heat
If you take a walk, I'll tax your feet

Don't ask me what I want it for
If you don't want to pay some more
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman

Now my advice for those who die
Declare the pennies on your eyes
'Cause I'm the taxman, yeah, I'm the taxman
And you're working for no one but me

Goldfinger


Goldfinger
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse;
Anthony Newley; John Barry
Performer(s): Shirley Bassey



Goldfinger, he's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister

Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold

Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death from Mister

Goldfinger, pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold!!!!!!
