Lollipops And Roses
Lollipops And Roses
Composer(s): Tony Velona
Performer(s): Jack Jones
and multiple other artists
Tell her you care each time you speak
Make it her birthday each day of the week
Bring her nice things, sugar and spice things
roses and lollipops and lolipops and roses
One day she`ll smile, next day she`ll cry
minute to minute you`ll never know why
Coax her, pet her, better yet, get her
roses and lollipops and lolipops and roses
We try acting grown up, but as a rule
we`re all lit-tle children fresh from school
So carry her books
That`s how it starts
Fourteen or forty they`re kids in their hearts
Keep them handy, flowers and candy
roses and lollipops and lolipops and roses

Colonel Buffalo Bill
Colonel Buffalo Bill
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Leslie Fyson
and various other artists
(Davenport)
Who's got the stuff that made the Wild West wild?
Who pleases every woman, man, and child?
Who does his best to give the customers a thrill?
(Company)
Who?
(Davenport)
Colonel Buffalo Bill!
Who's got the show that gets the most applause?
Five-hundred Indians and fifty Squas!
Ten featured acts and there's a special feature still?
(Company)
Who?
(Davenport)
Colonel Buffalo Bill!
(Dolly)
Have you ever seen a cowboy rope a steer?
(Company)
No, we haven't
(Dolly)
Or an Indian with feathers throw a spear?
(Company)
No, we haven't
(Dolly)
Have you ever seen a hold up?
(Company)
No sir
(Dolly)
Then gather closer
and let me give you some of the atmosphere
(Davenport, spoken)
Introducing the world's greatest sharpshooter, Mister! Frank! Butler!
(Butler, singing)
The hour is midnight and all is still
We see the stage coach climbing up the hill,
Moving along the mountain trail, carrying passengers and mail,
never suspecting there is something really wrong
The watchful driver is in his seat,
His trusty rifle lying at his feet
Some of the passengers inside
seem to be dozing as they ride,
never suspecting danger as they roll along
Suddenly there's a shout!
(Company)
What is it all about?
(Butler)
"What is it all about?" you ask
It's Indians!
(Company)
Indians?!
(Butler)
Very notable, cut-your-throatable Indians!
(Company)
Indians?!
(Butler, Dolly, and Davenport)
Just when they've taken everyone by force,
Who makes an entrance on a big, white horse?
Who starts a-shootin' 'till there's noone left to kill?
(Company)
General Grant?
(Butler, Dolly, and Davenport)
No! Colonel Buffalo Bill!
(All)
Who's got the show that made the Wild West wild?
Who pleases every woman, man, and child?
Who does his best to give the customers a thrill?
Colonel! Buffalo! Bill!

Lollipop Tree
Lollipop Tree
Composer(s): Burl Ives
Performer(s): Josh White Jr.; Ron Coden
One fine day in early spring, I played a funny trick
Right in the yard behind our house
I planted a lollipop stick
And everyday I watered it well
And watched it carefully
I hoped one day that stick would grow
To be a lollipop tree
Ah-ha-ha, oh-ho-ho
What a sight to see
Me and my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop
Lolly, lolly, lollipop tree
Then one day I woke to find a very lovely sight
A tree all full of lollipops had grown in the dark of the night
I sat beneath that wonderful tree and looked up with a grin
And when I opened up my mouth, a lollipop dropped right in
Ah-ha-ha, oh-ho-ho
What a sight to see
Me and my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop
Lolly, lolly, lollipop tree
Winter came and days grew cold as winter days will do
On my tree, my lovely tree, not one little lollipop grew
From every branch an icicle hung, it’s limbs were bare as bones
But when I broke those icicles off they turned into ice cream cones
Ah-ha-ha, oh-ho-ho
What a sight to see
Me and my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop
Lolly, lolly, lollipop tree

Colombine
Composer(s): Paul Verlaine; Georges Brassens
Performer(s): Georges Brassens;
James Ollivier; Wazozo
Léandre le sot
Pierrot qui d'un saut
De puce
Franchit le buisson
Cassandre sous son
Capuce
Arlequin aussi
Cet aigrefin si
Fantasque
Aux costumes fous
Les yeux luisant sous
Son masque
Do, mi, sol, mi, fa
Tout ce monde va
Rit, chante
Et danse devant
Une frêle enfant
Méchante
Dont les yeux pervers
Comme les yeux verts
Des chattes
Gardent ses appas
Et disent:
"À bas Les pattes!"
L'implacable enfant
Preste et relevant
Ses jupes
La rose au chapeau
Conduit son troupeau
De dupes!

Lollipop
Composer(s): Julius Edward Dixon - Beverley "Ruby" Ross
First release by: Ronald & Ruby - 1958
Covered by multiple other artists
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop...
Call my baby lollipop
Tell you why
His kiss is sweeter than an apple pie
And when he does his shaky rockin' dance
Man, I haven't got a chance
I call him
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop...
Sweeter than candy on a stick
Huckleberry, chimry or lime
If you had a choice
He'd be your pick
But lollipop is mine
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop...
Crazy way he thrills me
Tell you why
Just like a lightning from the sky
He loves to kiss me till I can't see straight
Gee, my lollipop is great
I call him
Lollipop lollipop
Oh lolli lolli lolli
Lollipop lollipop ...

Colombina
Colombina
Composer(s): Jaime Roos
Performer(s): Jaime Roos
En el tumulto de los Húsares de Momo
Encandilado por las luces de otro barrio
Aquel murguista saludando con su gorro
Se despedía como siempre del tablado
Entre la nube de pintados chiquilines
Vio la sonrisa que enviaba una princesa
Entre los rostros de mezclados colorines
Dudó si era para él la gentileza
Y por si acaso dedicó una reverencia
A la muchacha que en la noche se quedaba
En el momento de partir la bañadera
volando un beso se posaba en su ventana
Y paso a paso la ansiedad lo malhería
Quedaba poco del nocturno itinerario
Uno tras otro los cuplés se sucedían
Se retiraban del último escenario
Tiró el disfraz en el respaldo del asiento
Borró los restos de pintura con su mano
Volando un tacho lo llevaba contra el viento
La vio justito a la salida del tablado
"Cómo te va", dijo el murguista a la muchacha
Que lo cortó con su mirada indiferente
Le dijo "Bien" y lo dejó como si nada
Nuevamente ...
La princesa ...
Se perdía entre la gente
Que no se apague nunca el eco de los bombos
Que no se lleven los muñecos del tablado
Quiero vivir en el reinado del Dios Momo
Quiero ser húsar de su ejército endiablado
Que no se apaguen las bombitas amarillas
Que no se vaya nunca más la retirada
Quiero cantarle una canción a Colombina
Quiero llevarme su sonrisa dibujada

Lola Rastaquouere
((English Version: Lola R. For Ever (by Marianne Faithfull & Sly and Robbie) - 2006))
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
First release by: Serge Gainsbourg
Covered by multiple other artists
Comment oses-tu me parler d'amour toi hein
Toi qui n'as pas connu Lola Rastaquouère
Je lui faisais le plein comme au Latécoère
Qui décolle en vibrant vers les cieux africains
Elle avait de ces yeux un vrai chat abyssin
Et ses seins deux sphères
Entre lesquelles j'abandonnais deux mois de salaire
Pour y rouler mon pauvre joint
Quand dans son sexe cyclopéen
J'enfonçais mon pieu tel l'Ulysse d'Homère
Je l'avais raide plutôt amère
C'est moi grands dieux qui n'y voyais plus rien
Dans la moiteur torride de sa croupe d'airain
On pouvait voir éclore des renoncules par-derrière
Et par devant un conifère
Me rappelait un air jamaïcain

Composer(s): Billy Fury
Performer(s): Billy Fury
Oh Collete
Half past eight, don't be late
Don't forget we have a date, Collete
How I love you, Collete
Oh, be on time and say your mine, Collete
Believe me honey when I say
I think about you night and day, Collete
How I need you, Collete
Don't let us part, you'll break my heart, Collete
Saw you walking close by
Didn't start talking 'cause I was so shy
Then you looked into my eyes
Don't whisper any goodbyes
Collete, Collete
Don't forget, Collete
I need you, so don't ever go, Collete
Half past nine, in on time
Guess you played me down the line, Collete
How I love you, Collete
You broke the vow, I'm lonely now, Collete
You broke the vow, I'm lonely now, Collete
You broke the vow, I'm lonely now, Collete

Lola (The Kinks)
Lola ((aka Yoda (by "Weird Al" Yankovic) - 1985))
Composer(s): Ray Davies
First release by: The Kinks - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
I met her in a club down in North Soho
where you drink champagne
and it tastes just like Coca Cola
C-o-l-a Cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name
and in a dark brown voice she said, "Lola"
L-o-l-a Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, I'm not the world's most physical guy
but when she squeesed me tight
she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
under electric candlelight
she picked me up and sat me on her knee
She said, "Little boy won't you come home with me?"
Well, I'm not the world's most passionate guy
but when I looked in her eyes
I almost fell for my Lola
Lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo Lola
I pushed her away. I walked to the door
I fell to the floor. I got down on my knees
I looked at her, and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo lo lo Lola
Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
except for Lola
Lo lo lo Lola
Well I left how just a week before
and I never ever kissed a woman before
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
she said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man"
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
but I know what I am and that I'm a man
so is Lola
Lo lo lo Lola
Lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo Lola
Lo lo lo Lola
Lola
Lo lo lo Lola
Lo lo lo Lola

Coldest Day
Coldest Day
Performer(s): Madness
No I never heard through the grapevine
How you left long before your time
But in France on the radio
I could not understand a word
But I felt you go
We waited all night for the midnight lover's calling
It was the coldest day of the year
And I'm still thawing
I didn't sleep a wink
But while radio played
I was day dreaming
Of what might have been
While the cold night air was freezing
The coldest night
The coldest day of the year
What is happening mother father please
Who will save us from the autumn breeze
Shivering to a halt no one wants to speak too soon
Although we all knew under the pale blue moon
The pale moon
The pale blue moon
What happens then when the sun goes down
Tell me what's the word Johannesburg
When the rent goes up and the lights go down
On the coldest day outside the coldest town
We waited all night and I'm still falling
I didn't sleep a wink
But while radio played
I was day dreaming
Of what might have been
While the cold night air was freezing
The coldest night
The coldest day of the year
The coldest night
The coldest day of the year
The coldest night, day, year

Cold, Haily, Windy Night
Cold, Haily, Windy Night
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Steeleye Span
and various other artists
Oh me hat it is frozen to me head
Me feet they are like a lump of lead
Oh me shoes they are frozen to me feet
With standing at your window
Let me in, the soldier cried
Cold haily windy night
Oh let me in, the soldier cried
For I'll not go back again, no
Me father he watches down on the street
Me mother the chamber keys do keep
Oh, the doors and the windows they do creak
I dare not let you in
Let me in, the soldier cried
Cold haily windy night
Oh let me in, the soldier cried
For I'll not go back again, no
Oh and she's rose up and she's let him in
She's kissed her true love cheek and chin
And she's drawn him between her sheets again
And she opened and she let him in
Then she has blessed the rainy night
Cold haily windy night
Oh then she has blessed the rainy night
That she opened and she let him in
Soldier, soldier stay with me
Soldier, soldier won't you marry me
Oh no, no, no, it never can be
So fare bid thee well forever
Then she has wept for the rainy night
Cold haily windy night
Then she has wept for the rainy night
That she opened and she let him in
Oh and he's jumped up all out of the bed
He's put his hat all on his head
But she had lost her maidenhead
Her mother she heard the din
Then she has cursed the rainy night
Cold haily windy night
O then she has cursed the rainy night
That she opened and she let him in

Lola (Chico Buarque)
Lola
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
Sabia
Gosto de você chegar assim
Arrancando páginas dentro de mim
Desde o primeiro dia
Sabia
Me apagando filmes geniais
Rebobinando o século
Meus velhos carnavais
Minha melancolia
Sabia
Que você ia trazer seus instrumentos
E invadir minha cabeça
Onde um dia tocava uma orquestra
Pra companhia dançar
Sabia
Que ia acontecer você, um dia
E claro que já não me valeria nada
Tudo o que eu sabia
Um dia

Cold, Cold, Cold
Cold, Cold, Cold
Composer(s): Lowell George
Originally performed by: Little Feat
Cold, cold, cold
Cold, cold, cold
Freezing, it was freezing in that hotel
I had no money, my special friend was gone
The TV set was busted so she went along
I called room, room service
I'm down here on my knees
A peach or a pear, or a coconut please
But they was cold
Well it's been a month since I seen my girl
Or a dime to make the call
'Cause it passed me up, or it passed me by
Or I couldn't decide at all
And I'm mixed up, I'm so mixed up
Don't you know I'm lonely
And I wish the world would get off of my case
And get on one of its own
Cold, cold, cold
Cold, cold, cold
That woman was freezing, freezing cold
Well I tried everything to warm her up
Now I'm living in this cold hotel
'Cause she passed me, up or she passed me by
Or I couldn't decide at all
Oh I'm mixed up, yes I'm mixed up
Don't you know I'm lonely
Of all the things I had to do
I had to fall in love
You know she's cold
Turn your clock back woman when you see me comin' round
My feet don't, feet don't even touch the ground
don't be cold, don't be cold
don't be cold, don't be cold

Cold, Cold Heart
Cold, Cold Heart
Composer(s): Hank Williams
Originally performed by: Hank Williams
Covered by various other artists
I tried so hard, my dear, to show
That you're my every dream
Yet you're afraid each thing I do
Is just some evil scheme
A memory from your lonesome past
Keeps us so far apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
Another love before my time
Made your heart sad and blue
And so my heart is paying now
For things I didn't do
In anger unkind words are said
That make the teardrops start
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
You'll never know how much it hurts
To see you sit and cry
You know you need and want my love
Yet you're afraid to try
Why do you run and hide from lies
To try, it just ain't smart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart
There was a time when I believed
That you belonged to me
But now I know your heart
Is shackled to a memory
The more I learn to care for you
The more we drift apart
Why can't I free your doubtful mind
And melt your cold, cold heart

L'oiseleur
L'oiseleur
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Les oiseaux sont les mains de ces femmes sans nombre
Qui sont mortes emportées par un chagrin d'amour
Revenant dans l'espoir de rencontrer une ombre
Sur les lieux où jadis se flétrissaient leurs jours
Celui qui sur un toi légèrement se pose
Brisant pour un instant son vol désespéré
Et se blottit tremblant dans une triste pose
Vient pleurer son amour par des cris angoissés
Je suis un oiseleur et comprends leurs alarmes
Ce sont mes seuls amis, comme je suis le leur
Ils se confient à moi, moi pour sécher les larmes
De ces millions d'amour disparus sans bonheur
Je partage mon coeur
D'oiseleur
Je vis seul dans mon coin n'adressant la parole
Qu'aux oiseaux qui chez moi viennent s'abriter
Jadis, j'étais aimé, mais la jeunesse est folle
J'ai refusé un coeur et il s'est arrêté
Depuis je cherche en vain sa tendre âme fragile
Parmi tous les oiseaux qui me tombent du ciel
Pour consacrer ma vie à forger une idylle
Que nous perpétuerons dans la vie éternelle
Je suis un oiseleur et comprends leurs alarmes
Ce sont mes seuls amis, comme je suis le leur
Ils se confient à moi, moi pour sécher les larmes
De ces millions d'amour disparus sans bonheur
Je partage mon coeur
D'oiseleur

Cold Wind In August
Cold Wind In August
Composer(s): Van Morrison
Performer(s): Van Morrison
I waited for you
You waited for me
That it seemed like, seemed like a mighty long time
Baby I had to have you
Oh, I had to have you
Come rain, rain or shine
It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin' in your garden
In the California pine
I was standing shivering
I've got the fever in the rain
But I can't come on back to see you
Again and again and again
I said I, I had to have you
Baby I had to have you
Come rain, come rain or shine
It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
And I was standing in your garden
In the California pine
California pine
It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin' in your garden
In the California pine
In the California pine
It was a cold wind in August
I was pushed on through September
Oh pushin' through September
In the rain
Pushin' through, pushin' through September
In the rain
Ooh
It was a cold wind in August
Shivers up and down my spine
I was standin' standin' in your garden
In the California pine
