My Beautiful Caliopasaxaviatrumparimbaclarabasatrombaphone
Composer(s): N.B. Winkless Jr.; Hoyt S. Curtin
Performer(s): The Banana Splits



Yoo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo!
Yoo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo!

Well, lose my cool, my feet feel the beat!
I'm a dancin' fool, and I've got the heat
While the beautiful caliopasaxaviatrumparimbaclarabasatrombaphone plays!

It turns me on, rev up my machine!
I'm suddenly gone, don't know where I've been!
While the beautiful caliopasaxaviatrumparimbaclarabasatrombaphone plays!

You know I love...that arrangement
I love that sound!
If you're looking for me anytime
I'm probably gonna be found!

Well the golden sun shines over the sea
And the soft, warm breeze just whispers to me
And the beautiful caliopasaxaviatrumparimbaclarabasatrombaphone plays!

You know I love...that arrangement
I love that sound!
If you're looking for me anytime
I'm probably gonna be found!

Well the golden sun shines over the sea
And the soft, warm breeze just whispers to me
And the beautiful caliopasaxaviatrumparimbaclarabasatrombaphone plays!
While the beautiful caliopasaxaviatrumparimbaclarabasatrombaphone plays!!

Gone, Gone


Gone, Gone
Performer(s): Ted Heath



Yes, you’ve been gone gone gone too long from me
Much too long long long away from me
I’m sad and lonely every moment you’re away
And every moment seems an hour and every hour a day
Oh, you’ve been gone gone gone too long from me
It’s a sad sad sad catastrophe
It’s wrong for us to part, so please come back sweetheart
You’ve been gone gone gone too long from me

Yes, you’ve been gone gone gone too long from me
It’s a sad sad sad catastrophe
It’s wrong for us to part
So please come back sweetheart
You’ve been gone gone gone too long from me

You’ve been gone gone gone too long from me

Te Digo Adiós, Tristeza


Te Digo Adiós, Tristeza
Composer(s): J.M. Gallardo - C. Toro - R. Pareti
Performer(s): Miguel Gallardo



Toda mi vida viviste junto a mi
y poco a poco me acostumbré a ti
a cada instante te presentí tristeza
fuiste como mi amante, como mi compañera
En el silencio sentí tu frialdad
y entre la gente probé tu soledad
pero esta noche no soy ya tu prisionero
ella me ama y yo también la quiero
Adiós, adiós, adiós, te digo adiós tristeza
adiós, adiós, adiós, no soy tu prisionero
adiós, adiós, adiós, te digo adiós tristeza
adiós, adiós, adiós, me siento un hombre nuevo
Cuando mañana despierte con el alba
de tu presencia no quedará ya nada
ella es ahora el centro de mi vida
por eso está noche, te dejo vieja amiga
Adiós, adiós, adiós, te digo adiós tristeza
adiós, adiós, adiós, no soy tu prisionero
adiós, adiós, adiós, te digo adiós tristeza
adiós, adiós, adiós, me siento un hombre nuevo

My Back Pages


My Back Pages
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Originally performed by: Bob Dylan
Covered by various other artists



Crimson flames tied through my years
Rollin high and mighty trapped
Countless violent flaming roads
Using ideas as my map
"We'll meet on edges soon" said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Half wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate" I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
Sisters led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ah but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

Gone Too Soon


Gone Too Soon
Composer(s): Larry Grossman; Buz Kohan
Performer(s): Michael Jackson; Babyface;
John Barr; Julie Budd; Willie D; Richard Tee



Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon

Te Debo El Amor Y La Vida


Te Debo El Amor Y La Vida
Composer(s): G. Carli - A. Segura
Performer(s): Raphael



Fuiste tú quien dio a mi vida una razón
Tú, fuiste tú, quien puso fe en mi corazón
Tú, me diste tú, esa esperanza en un amanecer
Y en ese sol que ya pensé no ver
Y si me siento revivir y si el amor vuelvo a sentir
Vida y amor yo te los debo a ti
Me has dado tú toda mi fuerza y mi valor
Tú, hiciste tú, que recobrara la ilusión
Tú, y yo no sé lo que quisieras tú tener de mí
Más sea lo que sea, pide que esté aquí
Pide mi vida o pide amor, pide mis ojos, pídelos
Vida y amor yo te los debo a ti

My Baby's Gone


My Baby's Gone
Composer(s): Jimmy Bowen; Don Lanier
Performer(s): Jimmy Bowen



(Listen to my story...)
Well, my baby told me Saturday
That she was leaving town
Well, now my baby's gone away
She never comes around
Oh well, she left me
Oh well, she's left me, she's gone
She bid me goodbye
Oh well, she's moving-moving along
Well, she left town on Sunday
With a man named Clay
Well listen, oh my baby
All he wanna do is play
Oh well, she'll leave him
Oh well, she'll leave him one day
She'll get all his money
And then leave him one day

Well, the last time I saw her
She had a drink in her hand
A mink around her shoulders
And her arm around a man
A-wearing pearls and diamond necklace
Hair like golden-golden sand
But her ruby-ruby lips
They were kissin' another man
Well, they tell me that my baby
Lives in another town
They tell me that she's married
And that she's settled down
Well, I'm happy for my baby
Well, I'm happy, oh yeah
Well, I'll just find me another baby
But I'll never settle down
Well, I'll just find me another baby
But I'll never settle down
Well, I'll just find me another baby
But I'll never settle down

Gone Too Far


Gone Too Far
Composer(s): David Malloy;
Eddie Rabbitt; Even Stevens
Performer(s): Eddie Rabbitt



I was heading home I hadn't planned on you
I shouldn't be here now but tell me what can I do
The way you're looking in my eyes
Well I'm beginning to realize it's true
It's you, and baby we've...

Gone too far, I'm gonna wake
Gone too far, But I can't help

The way you look at me
The way I look at you
The way you're touching me
The way I'm touching you

You're pulling all the right strings baby
You're saying all the right things baby to me, to me
and don't you know we've
Gone too far, I'm gonna wake

Gone too far, but I can't
Gone too far feels too good to turn back
Gone too far
But I can't help it I'm fall-alling

Te Contro Me


Te Contro Me
((French Version: Toi Contre Moi (Charles Aznavour))
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Te contro me, che figura da idioti
Quella dei genitori feriti
Te contro me, due carri armati
Vuoti e telecomandati,da uno stuolo di avvocati
Te contro me, contro tutti si va'
Senza avere rispetto e pieta'
Muore l'amore, e ciascuno per se
E i figli in mezzo perche'...
Cos'hanno fatto mai di male, e perche' dovran pagare
Questo bel capolavoro, perche' loro
Che cos'e' che ne sanno dei problemi
Loro e' il poco di buono si e' fatto io e te...

Te contro me, e risposta non c'e'
Al perche' dei bambini smarriti
So' che vorresti a me negarli
Io dovrei come affittarli, ritirarli e riportarli
Te contro me, questo gioco e' incosciente
Non avra' vincitori ne' vinti
Tiriamo i conti, sono loro i bambini
Che perderanno di piu'
No, alle uscite comandate
Allegrie cronometrate, che la legge accordera'
No, non mi va', ed i tuoi alla noia farmi guerra
Buon pero' cielo e terra, ma da me non li avrai...

Te contro me, e' l'inferno e pazzia
E pensare che era poesia...
Te contro me, per la vita la tua favola infinita
Nel mio letto accanto a te
Te contro me, ci accomuna un passato
Da salvare per quel che ci ha dato
Noi faccia a faccia, un giorno in tribunale
Fara' soltanto del male
Vieni, mettiamoci d'accordo
Non facciamo a chi e' piu' sordo
Evitiamo il punto di...
Non ritorno
Perche' un giorno superato questo scoglio
Ci ritorni il desiderio di te contro me...

My Baby's Arms


My Baby's Arms
Composer(s): Joseph McCarthy; Harry Tierney
Original Dixieland Jazz Band
and various other artists



I call my sweetheart "Baby"
She calls me "Baby" too
When there's anyone near us
We never let them hear us
But for embraces I know just where my place is

It seems my own sweet baby
Just loves to baby me
Tho' we both are grown up
We refuse to own up
She's like a mother
How we do love each other

My baby's arms
Hold all my charms
My baby's eyes of blue
Just seem to thrill me
And fill me with a new sensation
My baby's smile
There all the while
And if she'd tell me to stay
I'd like to snuggle away
And dream forever
In my baby's arms

Gone Shootin'


Gone Shootin'
Composer(s): Bon Scott;
Angus Young; Malcolm Young
Performer(s): AC/DC; Gene Hadley



Feel the pressure rise
Hear the whistle blow
Found a ticket of her own accord
Yeah I don't know
Packed ya heart in her travelling bag
And never said bye bye
Something missing in the neighbourhood
All the cryin' eyes
I stirred my coffee with the same spoon
To her favourite tune
Gone shootin'
My baby's gone shootin'
Wrap herself around
Like a second skin
Backed her favourite nag
But she could never win
I took her number in another town
She took another pill
She was 'runnin' in' on overdrive
A victim of overkill
She never made it past the bedroom door
What was she aiming for?
Gone shootin'
She's gone, gone gone gone
(solo)

Gone shootin'
My baby's gone shootin'
Ow ! Lookout !
(Gone Shootin')
Aaah! my baby's gotta gun
(Gone Shootin)
hey look out, look out, look out, look out!
(Gone shootin)
Ahh She's shootin everyone!
(Gone shootin)
Ah She's sure is loaded
She's gone, she's gone, she's gone, she's gone
Gone shootin

I used to love her so

Toi Contre Moi


Toi Contre Moi
((Italian Version: Te Contro Me (Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Jaques Plante
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



Toi contre moi, il est bête à pleurer
cet orgueil des parents déchirés
Toi contre moi c'est un combat, on se déchire on se bat
aidés par nos avocat!
Toi contre moi, contre le monde entier
sans répit, sans merci, sans pitié
Quand l'amour meurt, ça devient chacun pour soi
mais les enfants dans tout ça?
Quel est leur tort, quel est leur crime
pourquoi seraient-ils victimes
de notre échec à nous deux, pourquoi eux?
Qu'ont-ils fait pour souffrir de nos problèmes
eux qui sont ce que quand même nous avons fait de mieux?!
Toi contre moi, quelle raison donner
au pourquoi des enfants étonnés?
Toi tu voudrais me les ôter, je devrais les emprunter
les prendre et les rapporter!
Toi contre moi, à ce jeu sans issue
il ne sort ni vainqueur ni vaincu
Au bout du compte, il n'y a que les enfants
qui pour finir sont perdants!
Non aux sorties à la sauvette, aux dimanches et jours de fêtes
que peut accorder la loi chaque mois!
Tes amis auront beau dire et beau faire
Je remuerai ciel et terre
tu ne les auras pas!
Toi contre moi, c'est l'enfer, c'est l'horreur
et pourtant hier, c'était le bonheur!
Toi contre moi, c'était la vie, ses merveilles et ses folies
dans tes bras et dans ton lit!
Toi contre moi, ce passé qui nous lie
il faudrait le garder à tout prix
Se retrouver face à face au Tribunal
ne nous ferait que du mal!
Viens! Faisons amende honorable, évitons l'irréparable
et le point de non retour, pour qu'un jour
affleurant de ce drame pitoyable
il ne reste plus que toi contre moi, mon amour!

My Baby Said Yes (Yip Yip De Hootie)


My Baby Said Yes (Yip Yip De Hootie)
Composer(s): Robin; Walters
Performer(s): Bing Crosby & Louis Jourdan



I feel so happy, I wanna shout
(Well, tell me Bing
Tell me what it’s all about?)
I found my one idea
And this time I’m sure it’s real

Yip yip de hootie
Got me a beauty
She sure is a dream
My baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn’t say no

(Cock cock-a-doodle
You’re off your noodle
You’re way off the beam
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She couldn’t say no)

Knock me a daisy
(Now what would I do with a daisy, old thing?)
You wear it and bear it
(There, you sound kinda crazy)
I’m happy that way

Hi diddle diddle
March down the middle
And now we’re a team
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
Yes, she couldn’t say no

Yip yip yip de hootie
Got me a beauty
She sure is a dream
My baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn’t say no

Cock-a-doodle off my noodle
Off the beam
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
She didn’t say no

Knock me a daisy
That sure was a daisy
That one was hazy
But I’m happy that way

Hi diddle-diddle
March down the middle
And now we’re a team
‘Cause baby said yes
She said yes, she said yes
Yes, she couldn’t say no
She couldn’t say no
No, no

Gone Girl


Gone Girl
Composer(s): Jack Clement
Performer(s): Tompall Glaser & The Glaser Brothers;
Rex Allen; Johnny Cash; Jack Clement



She is deliciously tall sort of a long girl
She is delightfully small sort of a song girl
She freely admits to the world that she was a wrong girl
That's nothing compared to the fact that she is a gone girl

Gone like a knock on the door
Gone with yesterday and before
Gone with the wind for ever more

She'd never laid claim to the fact that she was a strong girl
So why should I loudly proclaim that she was a wrong girl
I'd rather think of her name as some sort of song girl
And think poetical things to think of my gone girl

Gone like a knock on the door
Gone with yesterday and before
Gone with the wind for ever more

Te Conozco


Te Conozco
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez



De niño te conocí
entre mis sueños queridos
por eso cuando te vi
reconocí mi destino
Cuando pensaba que ya no iba ser
lo que soñaba de pronto vino
Tanto que yo te busqué
y tanto que no te hallaba
que al cabo me acostumbré
a andar con tanto de nada
Cuánto nos puede curar el amor
cuánto renace de tu mirada

Te conozco
te conozco desde siempre
desde lejos
te conozco
te conozco como a un sueño
bueno y viejo
es por eso que te toco
y te conozco
Te conozco

El lago parece mar
el viento sirve de abrigo
todo se vuelve a inventar
si lo comparto contigo
La única prisa es la del corazón
la única ofensa es tener testigos

Te conozco
te conozco desde siempre
desde lejos
te conozco
te conozco como a un sueño
bueno y viejo
es por eso que te toco
y te conozco
Te conozco

My Baby Packed Up My Mind And Left Me


My Baby Packed Up My Mind And Left Me
Composer(s): Dallas Frazier; Arthur Leo Owens
Performer(s): Dallas Frazier



I didn't hear the engines of a jet-plane
I didn't hear the whistle of a train
I didn't hear the taxi-driver knockin' on my door
I didn't hear her walkin' cross the floor
But my baby packed up my mind and then she left me
She knew when I woke up that I'd be lookin' for my mind
She knew she'd leave a crazy man behind
But my baby packed up my mind and then she left me

I never thought this big ole king size bed would find her gone
I never thought she'd leave here alone
I never saw the distance or the leavin' in her eyes
I never thought my babe would wave goodbye
But my baby packed up my mind...
Yes my baby packed up my mind and then she left me

Gone Fishin'


Gone Fishin'
Composer(s): Nick Kenny; Charles Kenny
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong;
and various other artists



I'll tell you why I can't find you
Every time I go out to your place...

You gone fishin' (well how you know)
Well there's a sign upon your door (uh-huh)
Gone fishin' (I'm real gone man)
You ain't workin' anymore (could be)
There's your hoe out in the sun
Where you left a row half done
You claim that hoein' ain't no fun (well I can prove it)
You ain't got no ambition

Gone fishin' by a shady wady pool (Shangrila, really la)
I'm wishin' I could be that kind of fool (should I twist your arm?)
I'd say no more work for mine (welcome to the club)
On my door I'd hang a sign
Gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'

Papa Bing (yeah Louis)
I stopped by your place a time or two lately
And you aren't home either
Well, I'm a busy man Louis. I got a lotta deals cookin'
I was probably tied up at the studio
You weren't tied up you dog
You was just plain old...

Gone fishin' (bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah-boo-bah)
There's a sign upon your door (Pops, don't blab it around, will you?)
Gone fishin' (keep it shady, I got me a big one staked out)
Mmm, you ain't workin' anymore (I don't have to work, I got me a piece of Gary)
Cows need milkin' in the barn (I have the twins on that detail, they each take a side)
But you just don't give a darn (give 'em four bits a cow and hand lotion)
You just never seem to learn (man, you taught me)
You ain't got no ambition (you're convincin' me)

Gone fishin' (bah-boo-dah-do-dah-do-dah-do)
Got your hound dog by your side (that's old Cindy-Lou goin' with me)
Gone fishin' (mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm)
Fleas are bitin' at his hide (get away from me boy, you bother me)

Mmm, folks won't find us now because
Mister Satch and Mister Cros
We gone fishin' instead of just a-wishin'
Bah-boo-baby-bah-boo-bah-bay-mmm-bo-bay
Oh yeah!

Te Busco


Te Busco
Composer(s): Victor, Victor
Performer(s): Celia Cruz; Ana de la Reguera



Al cielo una mirada largaa
buscando un poco de mi vida
mis estrellas no responden
para alumbrarme hacia tu risa

Olas que esfuman de mis ojos
a una legion de tus recuerdos
me roban formas de tu rostro
dejando arena en el silencio

Te busco perdido entre suenos
el ruido de la gente
envuelvelo en un velo
te busco volando en el cielo
el viento te ha llevando como un panuelo viejo
y no hago mas que rebuscar
paisajes conocidos
en lugares tan extranos,que no puedo dar contigo

En cualquier huella te persigo (voy tras de ti)
en una sombra te dibujo (al recordar)
huellas y sombras que se pierden (de la soledad)
la suerte no vino conmigo

Coro: Intermedio (igual que estrofa)

Coro: Y te busco

My Baby Must Be A Magician


My Baby Must Be A Magician
Composer(s): Smokey Robinson
Performer(s): The Marvelettes



You are under my power
It is the power of love

Eyes that hypnotize
And all it takes is just once glance
Just one look at him
Puts me in a lover's trance

Now listen
No rabbits in his hand
No pigeons up his sleeve
But you better believe
When I prove he can do so much
My baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch

Oh my morale was low
Then he appeared just like a genie
His love has the power
He's my private great Houdini

No reading decks of cards
No cords that disappear
No special gear
Like Alladin's lamp and such
But my baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch

Whenever I'm feeling bad
My baby simply kisses me
And then Presto, Chango, Alakazam
I'm alright again oh yes I am
Yes I am alright

No mystic crystal ball
No long black flowing cape
But I can't escape
From his tender loving touch
Oh my baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch
Say my baby must be a magician 'cause he's sure got the magic touch

Gone Dead Train


Gone Dead Train
Composer(s): Jack Nitzsche; Russ Titelman
Performer(s): Nazareth;
and various other artists



It's a gone dead train
Yes, it's a gone dead train

My engine was pumpin' steam
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
Burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
It would never last

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Ain't no empty cellar
Like a gone dead train

Once was at a time when I could
Mama shave 'em dry
And raise a fever ice-down chill
Waitin' at the station
With a heavy loaded sack
Savin' up and holdin' just to spill
Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye
Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train

Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
It's a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
It's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn

There ain't no easy day
When your daily run's a downhill pull
And there ain't no easy way
Wishin' for some jelly roll
There ain't no switch been made
To make your juicy lemon find
A spring to run a dry well full

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train

Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn
You know it's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
It's a gone dead train
It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn
It's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
