Come Back Liza


Come Back Liza
Composer(s): Irving Burgie; William A. Attaway
Originally performed by: Harry Belafonte



Whenever I'm away from Liza, water come to me eye
Every time I'm away from Liza, water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye

When the evening starts to fall, water come to me eye
I need to hear my liza call, water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye

Standing here in the marketplace, water come to me eye
I need to see my Liza's face, water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye

Whenever I'm away from Liza, water come to me eye
Whenever I'm away from Liza, water come to me eye

Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye
Come back Liza, come back girl
Wipe the tear from me eye

Ring My Bell


Ring My Bell
Composer(s): Frederick Knight
Performer(s): Anita Ward



I'm glad you're home
Well, did you really miss me?
I guess you did by the look in your eye (look in your eye, look in your eye)
Well lay back and relax while I put away the dishes
Then you and me can rock a bell

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell

The night is young and full of possibilities
Well come on and let yourself be free
My love for you, so long I've been savin'
Tonight was made for me and you

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)

(you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it!
you can ring my bell, anytime, anywhere
ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it, oww!
you can ring my bell, you can ring my bell
ding, dong, ding, ah-ah, ring it!
you can ring my bell, anytime, anywhere
ring it, ring it, ring it, ring it, oww!)

You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ding-dong-ding)
You can ring my be-e-ell, ring my bell (ring my bell, ring-a-ling-a-ling)

The Stranger (Two Souls In Communion)


The Stranger (Two Souls In Communion)
Composer(s): Ron "Pigpen" McKernan
Performer(s): Grateful Dead



What are they seeing, when they look in each other's eyes?
What are they feeling, when they see each other's smile?
Is it a love I've never known - or an emotion that I've outgrown?

Did I take a wrong turning on life's winding road?
Won't somebody help me find the right way to go?
My life need some correction, alteration in direction
Won't somebody comfort me for a while - yes, I'm lost

What is the secret of this tie that binds?
Two souls in communion, both body and mind
Is it special magic, or just the nature of things?
Conceived of great spirit, not for beggars but kings

You who have found it, please help me along
I'm a man, I'm a man, - I'm not made out of stone
My needs they are simple, I don't want many things
But I truly want to fly on those wings of love one more time

That's all I need (fly up, fly home)
I want to fly on them wings (fly up, fly home)
I want to fly on them wings of love (fly up, fly home)
I'm a stranger here (fly up, fly home)
Won't somebody help me now (fly up, fly home)
I wake up early in the morning (fly up, fly home)
you know I never saw you babe (fly up, fly home)
I just can't seem to understand
Can't seem to understand what's wrong (fly up, fly home)
What I wanna do is take a little ride with you, on the wings of love
Woh-oh one more time, one more time

Come Back Little Sheba

Come Back Little Sheba
Composer(s): Lenny Kaye; Patti Smith
Performer(s): Patti Smith



Come back little Sheba
I hear them calling
Open your ears
Awake from thy sleep
High above
The stars are falling
Open your arms
And you shall receive

The lights of the city
So bold and flashing
All of its riches
Imparted to thee
Robes of saffron
Robes of standing
A road of crimson
Spread at your feet

Your robes of standing
Your robes of saffron
Your road of crimson
All pleasing to me
But close your lights
Close your gates
I must arise
My flock awaits

Farewell little Sheba
I hear them a'calling
Here is your staff
Tend to thy sheep
Good wishes be with you
If that be your calling
Farewell little Sheba
Arise and take leave

Ring Dang Doo
Composer(s): Joy Byers; Robert Tubert
Performer(s): Sam The Sham & The Pharaohs;
Lyres; Les Sexareenos



Well - you can have your gold and your diamonds too
All I want is a ring dang doo
Well I've been all over this great big world
Hey
Looking for a ring dang doo
I've fallen in love with a thousand girls
Yeah
Looking for a ring dang doo
I've got a mojo and some voodoo too
But I ain't never found a ring dang doo
Well I was down ina New Orleans
Looking for a ring dang doo
I fell in love with a girl in blue jeans
Looking for a ring dang doo
But I can't stay though my love is true
I gotta keep looking for a ring dang doo
Ring dang doo
Where are you
What are you
From Mexico to the Philippines
Yeah
Looking for a ring dang doo
Well I've drunk with peasants and I've dined with kings
Looking for a ring dang doo
But I ain't never found a single clue
I've gotta keep a-looking for a ring dang doo
Well people call me crazy every single day
Yeah
Looking for a ring dang doo
But I don't care what people may say NO
Looking for a ring dang doo
I don't know what it looks like
Or what it can do
I gotta find that ring dang doo
Ring dang ring dang ring dang doo
Ring dang ring dang ring dang doo
You can have your gold and your diamonds too
All I want is a ring dang doo

Now is an interpolation of "ring dang ring dang ring dang doo" repeating with comments like
"Yeah where are you" and "You gotta show yourself" in the background as the song fades away

Doctor Heckle And Mr. Jibe
Composer(s): Dick McDonough
Performer(s): The Dorsey Brothers
and multiple other artists



Who gathers all the talk o' the town
Who gives it to you, doesn't ???
Who caters to the girls if they try
Doctor Heckle and Mr. Jibe

They corner each and all of the clues
They publish what'll soon become news
Likewise, you'd better subscribe
To Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Jibe

When there's room for argument
Get out them hammer and tongs
They don't know from nothin' so
They always wind up kickin' dogs

Yeah, yeah'n begin
Just bring 'round a bottle o' gin
Take a lesson on how to invite
From Doctor Heckle and Mr. Jibe

But last, somethin' confidentially new
Yeah, the credit where the credits due
The Pullitzer Prize for the champion liars
Goes To Heckle M.D. and Jibe Esquire

Come Back Baby


Come Back Baby
Performer(s): Buddy Holly



Come back baby - baby won't you come back
come back baby to me
now I know why all sad hearts cry
baby baby come to me

Ah well I cried all night ever since you left me
nothing has gone right - oh lonely old me

I say come back baby - baby won't you come back

When you left me all alone to sing the blues
I waited by the phone to get good news

That you would come back baby - baby won't you come back
come back baby to me
now you know I love you so
baby baby come to me
wo, come back baby to me

Ring A Ding


Ring A Ding
Composer(s): Michel Fugain; Claude Lemesle
Performer(s): Michel Fugain



Je vais te raconter l'histoire (Faut c'qu'y faut)
D'un gars qui voulait changer l'histoire (Trop c'est trop)
Il était fils de militaire et né dans un canon (Boum!)
Sur sa brassière y avait déjà des galons
Un homme de guerre, c'est pas la moitié d'un con
Un petit coup de Marseillaise (Oh non!)
Un petit coup de La Madelon (Sûrement pas!)
Vive l'amour à la française
Et vive la France et la Corrèze
Oooh. Tout finit par des chansons
Moi mon gars je veux pas changer l'histoire, je veux rien changer du tout
Je laisserai rien de rien dans les mémoires, mais je m'en fous
Ring a ding, ring a ding, ring a ding
Ring a ding, ring a ding
Oui je m'en fous

Il épousa un jour de gloire (Faut c'qu'y faut)
Une demoiselle nommée victoire (Trop c'est trop)
Elle était fille de légionnaire, d'ailleurs elle sentait bon (Beurk)
Devant le Maire, la belle n'a pas dit non
Elle était fière d'être la moitié d'un con (Allez!)
Un petit coup de Marseillaise (Ouais allez tiens)
Un petit coup de La main Delon (Non)
Vive l'amour à la française
Et vive Pimpaul et ses falaises
Oooh. Tout finit par des plongeons
Moi mon gars je n'veux pas changer l'histoire, je veux rien changer du tout
Je laisserai rien de rien dans les mémoires, mais je m'en fous
Ring a ding, ring a ding, ring a ding
Ring a ding, ring a ding
Oui je m'en fous

Voici la fin de mon histoire (Faut c'qu'y faut)
Bien sûr c'est difficile à croire (Trop c'est trop)
Un jour au cœur de la mitraille, un boulet de canon (Boum!)
fit une entaille plus large que ses gallons
Du champ d'bataille, sortit la moitié d'un con (Et allez)
Un petit coup de Marseillaise (Hola non, non)
Un petit coup de La main Delon (J'ai dit non)
Vive l'amour à la française
Et vive enfin le Père Lachaise
Oooh
Tout finit au goupillon
Ah moi mon gars je veux pas changer l'histoire, je veux rien changer du tout
Je laisserai rien de rien dans les mémoires, mais je m'en fous
Ring a ding, ring a ding, ring a ding
Ring a ding, ring a ding
Ring a ding, ring a ding, ring a ding
Oui je m'en fous...

The Strange Little Girl


The Strange Little Girl
Composer(s): Jerry Ross - Richard Adler
Performer(s): Cowboy Copas



Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

My sweetheart and I had a quarrel
I was troubled as a body can get
So, I put on my coat and walked out into the night
When a strange little girl I met

Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

She told me she knew of our quarrels
And I listened as she softly spoke on
She said, true love is rare
So don't lose the love you share
And before I could speak, she was gone

Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

Ran back to the home of my sweetheart
And I told her of the girl I did see
She said, darling I prayed you'd forgive me and return
For the same little girl came to me

Now, I don't know who she was
And I don't know where she came from
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl
I only know there was an angel glow
In the eyes of the strange little girl

Come Back And Take This Hurt Off Me


Come Back And Take This Hurt Off Me
Composer(s): Covay; Miller
Performer(s): Small Faces



Come back and take this hurt off me
Come back and take this hurt off me
baby, come back and take this hurt off me
'Cause I'm too young, to be in misery, now
baby, come back and take this hurt off me

I've been waitin' at the bus station
'cause that's where you left me standin'
Got my clothes in a twenty-five-cent locker
I'll be here till the Greyhound brings you back again, baby

Come back and take this hurt off me
Come back and take this hurt off me
baby, come back and take this hurt off me
'Cause I'm too young, to be in misery, now
baby, come back and take this hurt off me

I knocked on my mother's door, she said, "Steven, walk on in!"
Son, you don't have to say a mumbling word,
she left my little baby again
Yes, she did, now!

Come back and take this hurt off me
baby, come back and take this hurt off me
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby now, what kind of love could this be
baby, baby, baby, I don't know what you've done
it got me, it got me, it got me, yes, it did!

Story Of Tina


Story Of Tina
Composer(s): Hassall - Katrivanou
Performer(s): Al Martino



The story of Tina began in the springtime
When Tina was sweet seventeen
The boy said he loved her and she gave a promise
The truest that ever has been
And then came the wedding one morning in May
And still they are sweethearts
Though years roll away
The story of Tina is Love's grand adventure
As sweet as a love song can be
The story of Tina and me

The boy said he loved her and she gave a promise
The truest that ever has been
And then came the wedding one morning in May
And still they are sweethearts
Though years roll away
The story of Tina is Love's grand adventure
As sweet as a love song can be (Can't you see)
The story of Tina and me

Come Back And Shake Me


Come Back And Shake Me
Composer(s): Kenny Young
Performer(s): Clodagh Rodgers; Paige Claire



Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend, I'm lonely

My sleeves are all torn, my buttons are loose
My makeup's starting to fade away
The sparkle you put in my dolly eye
Is gone since that cloudy bye-bye day

My room is my house, my bed is my home
My pillow's my friend, my only friend
Your old baby doll, your raggedy doll
Is waiting for you to play again

Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend, I'm lonely

Bring your old tools and fix up my heart
And get your old doll together
And put back the colour gone from my lips
Kiss 'em and make it better

My love is my life, my life is my love
My world is my man, my only man
Your old baby doll, your raggedy doll
Is waiting for you to play again

Come back and shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, Baby, Baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me, baby, baby
Shake me, make me yours again
Hug me, bug me, be my friend (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhhhh)
Shake me, take me in your arms
Squeeze me, please me ...

Rimini


Rimini
Performer(s): Fabrizio De André



Teresa ha gli occhi secchi
guarda verso il mare
per lei figlia di pirati
penso che sia normale

Teresa parla poco
ha labbra screpolate
mi indica un amore perso
a Rimini d'estate.

Lei dice bruciato in piazza
dalla santa inquisizione
forse perduto a Cuba
nella rivoluzione
o nel porto di New York

nella caccia alle streghe
oppure in nessun posto
ma nessuno le crede

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

E Colombo la chiama
dalla sua portantina
lei gli toglie le manette ai polsi
gli rimbocca le lenzuola

"Per un triste Re Cattolico - le dice -
ho inventato un regno
e lui lo ha macellato
su di una croce di legno

E due errori ho commesso
due errori di saggezza
abortire l'America
e poi guardarla con dolcezza

ma voi che siete uomini
sotto il vento e le vele
non regalate terre promesse
a chi non le mantiene"

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

Ora Teresa è all'Harrys' Bar
guarda verso il mare
per lei figlia di droghieri
penso che sia normale

porta una lametta al collo
è vecchia di cent'anni
di lei ho saputo poco
ma sembra non inganni

"E un errore ho commesso - dice -
un errore di saggezza
abortire il figlio del bagnino
e poi guardarlo con dolcezza

ma voi che siete a Rimini
tra i gelati e le bandiere
non fate più scommesse
sulla figlia del droghiere"

Coro: Rimini, Rimini

Story Of My Love


Story Of My Love
Composer(s): Conway Twitty - Jack Nance
Performer(s): Conway Twitty



Darling we're not very old
But there's a love story that has to be told
By stars above I swear that it's true
It's the story of my love for you
(My love for you)

It starts when you came into my life
You vowed someday you'd be my wife
Sweetheart I thought the world of you
You made my world of dreams come true
(Of dreams come true)

The years may come and years may pass
And I reach the end of life's journey at last
Though time may change me in some ways it's true
It could never change my love for you
(Change my love for you)

Oh, when I'm gone bury me
On the highest mountain of history
Then all the world will hear me cry
My love for you will never die
(For you will never die)

Rimbaud Chanterait


Rimbaud Chanterait
Composer(s): Jean-Michel Rivat; Roland Vincent
Performer(s): Michel Delpech



Il écrivait sur des morceaux d'azur
Sur les étangs sur les forêts è è è
Il écrivait sur le vent sur les murs
Mais aujourd'hui il chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues
Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix
Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu
Un soleil dans le cœur un sanglot dans la voix
Là devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait

Il t'a laissé des mots venus du cœur
Pour ne pas mourir tout à fait è è è
Lui, l'homme fou, l'ami, le déserteur
Aujourd'hui comme il chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait les mains tendues
Rimbaud chanterait les bras en croix
Rimbaud chanterait le temps venu
Un soleil dans le cœur un sanglot dans la voix
Là devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Devant toi tu verrais
Un bateau qui se noie
Un bateau qui se noie
Et Rimbaud chanterait
Rimbaud chanterait le poing levé
Rimbaud chanterait le cœur serré
Rimbaud chanterait la liberté
Et l'amour et l'enfer et le fleuve et la mer
Et devant la foule il chanterait
Comme un oiseau libre il chanterait
Et toute la foule sifflerait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait
Mais Rimbaud chanterait

The Story Of My Life (Neil Diamond)


The Story Of My Life
Performer(s): Neil Diamond



The story of my life
is very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

The story of my life
begins and ends with you
the names are still the same
and the story's still the truth

I was alone
you found my waiting
and made me your own
I was afraid
that somehow I never could be
the man that you wanted of me

You're the story of my life
and every word is true
each chapter sings your name
each page begins with you

It's the story of our times
and never letting go
and if I die today
I wanted you to know

Stay with my here
share with me care with me
stay and be near
and when it began
I'd lie awake every night
just knowing somewhere deep inside
that our affair just might write

The story of my life
it's so very plain to read
it starts the day you came
and ends the day you leave

Come Away To Sea


Come Away To Sea
Composer(s): David Wilcox
Performer(s): David Wilcox



The wind is right for sailing
The tide is right to go
So come away to sea with me
There's things that you should know

There's things I'd like to tell you
That words can't seem to say
Unless we're on this simple craft
Sailing far away

Sail around this sound
Far away from shore
Come away to sea with me
Sail your heart once more

Join me in this simple craft
Welcome to my home
The things I'd like to say to you
Are better said alone

So let your heart sail with me
We'll cast away from town
And we'll sail away on music
Inside this simple sound

Sail around this sound
Far away from shore
Come away to sea with me
Sail your heart once more

This simple craft I play upon
Is made from wooden parts
It's never sailed an ocean
But it sure can sail my heart

And if you feel the music
Then we've raised another sail
The ocean wraps this world around
The wind will never fail

Rikki Don't Lose That Number


Rikki Don't Lose That Number
Composer(s): Walter Becker; Donald Fagen
Performer(s): Steely Dan;
and various other artists



We hear you're leaving, that's ok
I thought our little wild time had just begun
I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run
But if you have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

I have a friend in town, he's heard your name
We can go out driving on Slow Hand Row
We could stay inside and play games, I don't know
And you could have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart

Rikki, don't lose that number
You don't wanna call nobody else
Send it off in a letter to yourself
Rikki, don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you get home

Rikki, don't lose that number
(Rikki, don't lose that number)
Rikki, don't lose that number
