Fanfan
Petite Fanfan, petite Fanfan je m'ennuie
Heureusement il y a Noël
Et les vacances de Pâques au Tréport
Heureusement que l'arc-en-ciel
Repeint les mâts des bateaux dans le port
J'espère que tu t'ennuies un peu de moi
Que tu n'as pas trop de copains
Mais si bien sûr tu as un peu de joie
Garde-m'en pour demain
Fanfan
Petite Fanfan, je m'ennuie
Dans mon lycée aux murs de pluie
J'entends les bruits qui font les étoiles
J'entends le cri du train de nuit
Qui prend mon lit et le trimballe
D'ici je vois comme au bout d'un tunnel
Le bleu de ta robe de pastel
Ô qu'il me soit bientôt donné le temps
De revoir Fanfan

Gérard Carlier; Francis Lopez
Performer(s): Luis Mariano
Fandango du pays basque
Fandango simple et fantasque
Pour te danser dans les bras d'un garçon
Une fille ne dit jamais non!
Tout le pays est en fête
Et tout le monde est poète
Chacun ce soir ne pense qu'à l'amour
La montagne flirte avec l'Adour
{Refrain:}
Fandango ... Fandango...
Que rythment les bravos
Que répète l'écho
De Sare à Bilbao
C'est le chant des ruisseaux
C'est le chant des oiseaux
C'est le chant de l'amour Fandango!
Fandango du pays basque
Fandango simple et fantasque
C'est grâce à toi que l'on fait des folies
Qui sont bien le meilleur de la vie
Et combien de mariages
On a vu dans le village
Sur tes accents si joyeux et vibrants
Et ton rythme qu'on a dans le sang
{Refrain}
Fandango du pays basque
Fandango simple et fantasque
Les mains sur les tambourins bien entrain
Rythment ce refrain jusqu'au matin
Alors grands pèr's et grands mères
Ont des regards qui s'éclairent
En écoutant cet air du bon vieux temps
Ils revoient leur printemps de vingt ans!
{Refrain}

Oh vanavond
Wil ik in je armen rusten
Ze kan mijn
hart beroeren
ze doet me
beter voelen
oh vanavond
wil ik in je armen rusten
zij was maar een zomerlief
en toch vergeet ik niet
van wat ik toen
van haar heb geleerd
de zomer was voorbij
toen ik haar zomaar achterliet
en nu besef ik
dat was verkeerd
wanneer ik
mij alleen voel
dan heb ik
weer maar 1 doel
oh vanavond

Calling Your Name Again
Calling Your Name Again
Composer(s): Richard Carpenter - Richard Marx
Performer(s): The Carpenters
I wake up in the dark
The silence brings me to my senses
I wonder where you are
Then I feel the pain
The pain in my heart
Coz I’m living without your love
I’m all - alone for the first time
And it doesn’t seem to be a dream
A dream that will be over
All the words you said
Weren’t enough to fool this heartache
The memories in my head
Are they enough to stop me falling apart?
Coz I’m living without your love
Maybe it won’t be the last time
I don’t know how much more I can take
Hopeless wide-awake and here I go…
Calling your name again
Thinking of all that we two had before
There’s got to be more
This I know
Calling your name again
Remembering all the love you gave to me
And how it used to be…
I think of what’s to come
Then I turned and see your picture
The tears began to fall
And soon again they sense of nothing at all
Coz I’m living without your love
Won’t think that I’ll make it this time
Something tells me this is not the end
Wish I could pretend but here I go
Calling your name again
Thinking of all that we two had before
There’s got to be more
This I know
Calling your name again
Remembering all the love you gave to me
And how it used to be…
Calling your name again
Remembering all the love you gave to me
And how it used to be…
How it used to be…

The Argonaut
The Argonaut
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Roger McGuinn
'Twas the twenty-first of January
Eighteen fifty three
Our gallant ship the Argonaut
Set sail for jubilee
Singin' blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds hi ho
Stow away your runnin' gear and
Blow boys blow
We headed up to Greenland
Into the wintry seas
Where there's ice and snow, and the whale fish blow
And Jamaca rum would freeze
Singin' blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds hi ho
Stow away your runnin' gear and
Blow boys blow
Our captain Davy Grant me boys
He give us all a treat
And that is why we caught a whale
That measured fifty feet
Singin' blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds hi ho
Stow away your runnin' gear and
Blow boys blow
And when reached Cape Harrison
The weather it turned clear
Our pilot aimed us to the south
And homeward we did steer
Singin' blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds hi ho
Stow away your runnin' gear and
Blow boys blow
But shortly out of Newfoundland
A storm began to rise
The seas kicked up, the mast it broke
The Argonaut capsized
Singin' blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds hi ho
Stow away your runnin' gear and
Blow boys blow
Of all those bold, brave sailors
On that day did set sail
Well I'm the only one alive
Left to tell the tale
Singin' blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds hi ho
Stow away your runnin' gear and
Blow boys blow
It was the twenty-first of January
Eighteen fifty three
Our gallant ship the Argonaut
Set sail for jubilee
Singin' blow ye winds of morning
Blow ye winds hi ho
Stow away your runnin' gear and
Blow boys blow

Fancy
Fancy
Composer(s): Bobbie Gentry
Performer(s): Bobbie Gentry;
and various other artists
"Well, I remember it all very well lookin' back
It was the summer that I turned eighteen
We lived in a one-room, run down shack
on the outskirts of New Orleans
We didn't have money for food or rent
to say the least we was hard-pressed
when Momma spent every last penny we had
to buy me a dancin' dress
Well, Momma washed and combed and curled my hair
then she painted my eyes and lips
Then I stepped into the satin dancin' dress
It had a split in the side clean up to my hips
It was red, velvet-trimmed, and it fit me good
and standin' back from the lookin' glass was a woman
where a half grown kid had stood
She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
God forgive me for what I do
but if you want out girl it's up to you
Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"
Momma dabbed a little bit of perfume
on my neck and she kissed my cheek
Then I saw the tears welling up
in her troubled eyes as she started to speak
She looked at our pitiful shack and then
she looked at me and took a ragged breath
She said, Your Pa's runned off, and I'm real sick
and the baby's gonna starve to death
She handed me a heart-shaped locket that said
"To thine own self be true"
and I shivered as I watched a roach crawl across
the toe of my high-healed shoe
It sounded like somebody else was talkin'
askin', "Momma what do I do?"
She said, "Just be nice to the gentlemen, Fancy
They'll be nice to you"
She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
God forgive me for what I do
But if you want out girl it's up to you
Now don't let me down
now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"
That was the last time I saw my momma
when I left that rickety shack
The welfare people came and took the baby
Momma died and I ain't been back
But the wheels of fate had started to turn
and for me there was no other way out
It wasn't very long after that I knew exactly
what my momma was talkin' 'bout
I knew what I had to do
Then I made myself this solemn vow
I's gonna to be a lady someday
though I didn't know when or how
But I couldn't see spendin' the rest of my life
with my head hung down in shame
You know I mighta been born just plain white trash
but Fancy was my name
She said, "Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
God forgive me for what I do
but if you want out girl it's up to you
Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"
Wasn't long after that a benevolent man
took me in off the streets
One week later I was pourin' his tea
in a five roomed penthouse suite
Since then I've charmed a king, a congressman
and an occasional aristocrat
and I got me an elegant Georgia mansion
and a New York townhouse flat
Now I ain't done bad
Now in this world there's a lot of self-righteous
hypocrites who call me bad
They criticize Momma for turning me out
No matter how little we had
But I haven't had to worry 'bout nothin'
now for nigh on fifteen years
But I can still hear the desperation
in my poor mommas voice ringin' in my ears
"Here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down!
Oh, here's your last chance, Fancy, don't let me down
God forgive me for what I do
but if you want out girl it's up to you
Now get on out, you better start sleepin' uptown"

Callin' Out My Name
Callin' Out My Name
Composer(s): Del Shannon
Performer(s): Del Shannon
There's trouble in paradise
with her love you pay such a price
She must be all alone again she's calling for me
She doesn't turn me all the time
When I need her she's got a busy line
She must be all alone again she's calling for me
What else could it be
I know she's
she's calling out my name
I know she's
she's never gonna change her ways
She's always treat me the same
and she knows it's true
what am I gonna do
I could go so far away
but I know I couldn't stay
Knowing that she's all alone again
calling for me
She's dangerous to my heart
I shoulda known it from the start
She must be all alone again she's calling for me
what else could it be
I know she's...
and there is nothing I can do
I know she is...

Fan Mail
Fan Mail
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri
Performer(s): Blondie
I set my hand to writing you, it drifted off the page
I sold my one vision, for a piece of the cake
I haven't ate in days
For unspoken value aesthetic and charm
I'd smile at you sideways
But the lighting is wrong
I'm taking a picture and counting the cost
While the bells in my ears keep ringing
I set my hand to writing you, it drifted of the page
I nearly fell I feel like a lowlife in hell
And I haven't slept in days and days, days and days
Beat on my Fender through my Gemini two
Play to the posters on the wall of my room
Thought I was crazy when I'd think about you
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
And the bells in my ears keep ringing
In my ear bells are ringing

Famous Last Words Of A Fool
Composer(s): Dean Dillon - Rex Houston
Performer(s): George Strait
I told her I wouldn't miss her at all as she walked to the door
I couldn't care less if she didn't care anymore
And with tears in my eyes, I lied I was glad we were through
As she drove away cryin' at the famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart and I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool
The first night without her would be easy I kept tellin' myself
All the while dyin' at the thought of her lyin' somewhere else
There'll be nothin' to it, I'll easily find someone new
As my breaking heart echoed the famous last words of a fool

Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart and I don't love you
Famous last words of a fool
You won't break my heart and I don't love you

The Answer To Everything
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Burt Bacharach
Performer(s): Del Shannon
and multiple other artists
Don't ask me a mountain of questions
When there is only one answer to it all
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do
Don't give me a million excuses
When I am waiting with my arms open wide
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do
If there is someone else, some other place who holds your heart
Tell me now, truthfully, before we start
Don't act like you misunderstand me
When there is simply no mystery to it all
Do you love me, really love me as I love you
It's the answer to everything if you do
