I Don't Think That Man Should Sleep Alone


I Don't Think That Man Should Sleep Alone
Performer(s): Ray Parker Jr.



I don't think that man should sleep alone
I don't think it's fair
Do you baby

I don't think that man should sleep alone
Some body should be there

This world that we live in
Has too many laws and too many rules
The thought of you and me sleeping here
Seems like everybody disapproves

Now I'm not I'm not saying
That I'm right and everyone else is wrong
I admit I've got a problem
I can't stand sleeping alone

I don't think that man should sleep alone
I don't think it's fair
Do you baby

I can't seem to get warm enough
Evene with four blankets and a sheet
I may as well be honest girl
I think I need a little body heat

Wake up wake up baby
Yes I know it's a quarter to 3:00 a.m.
But either you're coming here
or I'm coming there
'Cause I just can't get to sleep

I don't think that man should sleep alone
I don't think it's fair
Do you baby

Baby come on
I want to feel you lying next to me
Don't you baby

Sugar come on
Rock this baby to sleep

Come on come on
Let's hold each other real good
Come on come on
I won't try nothing baby
Come on come on
But honey it could feel good
If you'll only let loose; come on

I don't think that man should sleep alone
I don't think it's fair
Do you baby

Help me baby
Baby come on
I need body heat
Don't you baby

Sugar come on girl
I want to feel your heat
Baby come on
Rock Rock me to sleep

Sugar come on girl
I want to feel your heat

J'Entends Frapper


J'Entends Frapper
Composer(s): Michel Pagliaro
Performer(s): Nuance Et Sandra



Trouver
Trouver j'espère toujours retrouver
Quelqu'un
Quelqu'un qui pourrait m'aider

Tout ceux
Tout ceux que je croyais mes amis
Ils m'ont
Ils m'ont tous laissé tomber

J'entends frapper
Enfin ma chance a tourné
Je suis heureux d'apprendre
Que tout n'est pas terminé

Rouler
Rouler il est encore temps de rouler
Personne
Personne ne peut m'arrêter

Plus loin
Plus loin toujours idée d'aller plus loin
C'est ma
C'est ma seule raison d'exister

J'entends frapper
Et que j'veux y entrer
Je suis heureux d'apprendre
Que tout n'est pas terminé
J'entends frapper
Mais je n'ai rien oublié
Ce n'est pas seulement la chance
Qui me fera gagner

Unis
Unis nous voilà enfin réunis
Nous sommes
Nous sommes tous en frères
La main
La main oui tous la main dans la main
Allons
Allons tous partager

J'entends frapper
Et tous veulent partager
Ce n'est pas seulement la chance
Qui les a ammené
J'entend frapper
Mais je n'ai rien oublié
Ce n'est pas seulement la chance
Qui me fera gagner

Through Your Eyes


Through Your Eyes
Composer(s): Suzy Bogguss - Doug Crider
Performer(s): Suzy Bogguss



I look out at the Winter sky, it's grey and overcast
Another year has flown right by, these days they go so fast
I look down at your tiny face and I see things your way
You don't mind if it's too cold to go outside and play
If it might snow on Christmas Day, then, through your eyes
The World looks bright, all lit up with coloured lights
When I think that I lost sight of it, I realise
That through your eyes there's magic in a tree
And in the smiles of family, and I wish
The whole World could see Christmas through your eyes

So I get you all bundled up and brave the downtown shops
Find along that time is short, the traffic never stops
Your little hand pulls me through the crowded sidewalk maze
To see the elves and reindeer and department store displays
Well I see Christmas in your face and through your eyes
The World looks bright, all lit up with coloured lights
When I think that I lost sight of it, I realise
That through your eyes there's magic in a tree
And in the smiles of family, and I wish
The whole World could see Christmas through your eyes

And through your eyes there's magic in a tree
And in the smiles of family, and I wish
The whole World could see Christmas through the eyes of a child
I wish the whole World could see Christmas through your eyes

I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You


I Don't Stand A Ghost Of A Chance With You
Composer(s): Victor Young; Bing Crosby; Ned Washington
First release/First performance by: Bing Crosby/Maurice Chevalier - 1933/1935
Covered by multiple other artists



I need your love so badly
I love you oh so madly
But I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
I thought at last I found you
But other loves surround you
And I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
If you'd surrender
Just for a tender
Kiss or two
You might discover
That I'm the lover
Meant for you
And I'd be true
But what's the good of scheming
I'm dreaming
For I don't stand a ghost of a chance with you
Cuz I don't stand
A ghost of a chance
With you

To Susan On The West Coast Waiting


To Susan On The West Coast Waiting
Performer(s): Donovan



Dear Susan, I know you love me so
But I want to hear it in my ear
You know I'd be there working at my craft
Had it not been for the draft
Dry up your tear and feel no fear
You're here with me like I'm there with you

To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting
To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting

I'm writing a note beneath a tree
The smell of the rain on the greenery
Our fathers have painfully lost their way
That's why, my love, I'm here today
Hear me when I say there will come a day
When Kings will know and love can grow

To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting
To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting
To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting
To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting

Susan, I know you love me so but I'd like to hear it in my ear
You know I'd be there working at my craft
Had it not been for the draft
Dry up your tear and feel no fear
You're here with me like I'm there with you

To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting
To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting
To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy supposedly hating
To Susan on the West Coast waiting
From Andy in Vietnam fighting

I Don't See Me In Your Eyes Anymore


I Don't See Me In Your Eyes Anymore
Composer(s): Bennie Benjamin; George Weiss
Performer(s): Gordon Jenkins
and multiple other artists



I don't see me
In your eyes anymore
Oh, why can't I
Make them shine as before

I don't see you
Or your heart in your kiss
When you should sigh
That you're mine, you resist

There was a time
Life was fine
Love was ecstasy
But now I doubt
What the outcome will be

I pray you'll say
I'm the one you adore
Then I'll see me
In your eyes as before

I pray you'll say
I'm the one you adore
Then I'll see me
In your eyes as before

Then I'll see me
In your eyes as before

J'entends cette musique
Cette douce musique
Qui me répète toujours
Il arrivera le jour
Le jour où je l'aimerai

Qui accompagne sans fin
Mon grand amour en chemin

Et m'emporter vers le bonheur

Il viendra le temps des baisers
Le temps de nous aimer
Et tous les mots et les secrets
Que je gardais pour toi
Au plus profond de moi
Je te les donnerai

J'entends cette musique
Cette douce musique
Qui me répète toujours
Il arrivera le jour
Le jour où je l'aimerai
À la saison de mes amours
À la saison de mes amours

The Weather Forecast


The Weather Forecast
Performer(s): The Mastersingers



Good morning, here is the Weather Forecast
For today until midnight
First the general situa-cion
A ridge of high pressure over the Azores is moving slowly north-east
And will begin to affect south-western districts of the British Isles by late evening

The cold front now affecting south-east districts
Will gradu-ally move north
Fog has develo-ped overnight in much of England and parts of Wales
In some districts it is rather dense
This will lift and clear by mid-morning almost everywhere
And the rest of the day will be fine with unbroken sunshine

And now, here is the Shipping Forecast for the next twenty-four hours
Viking, Forties, Cromarty, Forth, Tyne, Dogger, Fisher, German Bight
Humber, Thames, Dover, White, Portland, Plymouth, Biscay, Finistere
Sole, Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea, Shannon, Rockall, Malin, Hebrides
Bailey, Fair Isle, Faeroes, South East Iceland
Will continue to be affected by weather for several days

Now the outlook for Wednesday and Thursday
There will be drizzle in the south
And periods of continuous rain are expected later
Intersper-sed with scatter-red showers (Sound of rain)

Northern England, Northern Ireland and Southern Scotland
Will have occasional thunder (Sound of thunderclap)
Temperatures will fall during the night
And there may be local showers of sleet or snow

Over Central Scotland, temperatures will fall rapidly at dusk
Giving rise to hail and freezing fog
Heavy snowfalls are expected in the north of Scotland
And gale force winds are likely to cause extensive drifting

In the extreme north of Scotland a warm air stream
Will bring torren-cial rain and widespread flooding
(Sounds of wind and rain)
In brief, the weather will be normal for the time of year

I Don't Remember Loving You


I Don't Remember Loving You
Composer(s): Harlan Howard; Bobby Braddock
Performer(s): John Conlee



I don't remember loving you
And I don't recall the things
You say you put me through
You tell me that you've had
A guilty conscience for so long
You say that you walked out on me
You say you did me wrong
Well, I just don't see how that could be true
'Cause I don't remember loving you

I don't remember loving you
You might talk to my doctor
He drops by each day at two
I get a funny feeling
When I look into your eyes
There's something in your smile
That gives my stomach butterflies
You must look like someone I once knew
But I don't remember loving you

I don't remember loving you
I heard you mention children
Did you say there's one or two?
You say I quit my job
And then I drank myself insane
You say that I ran down the highway
Screaming out your name
Well, that's not the sort of thing that I would do
No, I don't remember loving you

I don't remember loving you
I absolutely positively
Know that can't be true
But everyone I know here in this place
Is really strange
If you'll hand me my crayons
I'll be glad to take your name
In case I run across that guy you knew
But I don't remember loving you

I don't remember loving you
And I don't recall the things
You say you put me through
You tell me that you've had
A guilty conscience for so long
You say that you walked out on me
You say you did me wrong
Well, I just don't see how that could be true
'Cause I don't remember loving you

J'Entends


J'Entends
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour



J'entends sa voix qui me dit: "T'en vas pas
Si tu pars j'en mourrai, je ne puis vivre sans toi
A notre amour crois-moi, je ne survivrai pas
Ne brise pas ma vie, ne jette pas nos joies
Dans la rue"
J'entends encore son cri de désespoir
Je vois ses mains tendues pour agripper l'espoir
Cherchant à retenir et mon amour et ma voix
Et je me vois partir pour oublier tout ça
Dans la rue

Une fois dans la rue je reviens en courant
Pour voir toute une foule qui fixe mon amant
Debout sur sa fenêtre
Je pourrais le sauver
Mais la foule m'arrête
M'empêchant de passer
J'entends le coeur de la foule qui bat
Et le vent qui s'arrête pour voir ce qu'il y a
Et le bruit de la vie qui ce fout de tout ça
Et là-haut mon amour prêt à se je ter en bas
Dans la rue

J'entends des voix qui disent autour de moi
C'est l'amour paraît-il qui le pousse a faire ça
Paraît qu'elle est partie avec un autre gars
Moi je reste sans geste au milieu de tout ça
Dans la rue

Un prêtre est en prière, une femme est en pleurs
les secondes sur terre ressemblent à des heures
Puis un corps dans le vide
Allez rentrez chez vous
Partez, faites le vide
Allez rentrez chez vous
"T'en vas pas je ne puis vivre sans toi
Je ne survivrai pas, je ne survivrai pas!"

To Sir With Love


To Sir With Love
Composer(s): Mark London - Don Black
First release by: Lulu - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists



Those schoolgirl days
Of telling tales, and biting nails, are gone
But in my mind
I know they will, will still live on and on

But how do you thank someone
Who has taken you from crayons to perfume?
It isn't easy, but I'll try
If you wanted the sky
I would write across the sky in letters
That would soar a thousand feet high
"To Sir, With Love"

The time has come
For closing books; and long last looks must end
And as I leave
I know that I am leaving my best friend

A friend who taught me right from wrong
And weak from strong -- that's a lot to learn
What? What can I give you in return?
If you wanted the moon
I would try to make a start... but I
Would rather you let me give my heart
To Sir, With Love

I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair


I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair
Composer(s): Frank Dycus; Billy Yates
Performer(s): George Jones



I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or Medicare
I still got neon in my veins
This gray hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
I don't need your rockin' chair

I ain't ready for the junkyard yet
'Cause I still feel like a new Corvette
It may take a little longer but I'll get there
I don't need no rockin' chair

I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or Medicare
I still got neon in my veins
This gray hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
I don't need your rockin' chair

Retirement don't fit my plan
You can take your seat, I'm gonna stand
An Eskimo needs a frigidair
But I don't need no rockin' chair

I don't need your rockin' chair
Your Geritol or Medicare
I still got neon in my veins
This gray hair don't mean a thing
I do my rockin' on the stage
You can't put this possum in a cage
My body's old but it ain't impaired
I don't need your rockin' chair

My body's old but it ain't impaired
Yeah I don't need no rockin' chair

The Horse Told Me


The Horse Told Me
Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James Van Heusen
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Nat King Cole



In the big Handicap there's a positive snap
Go bet on a horse called 'The Sheik'
He'll walk off with the crown if he doesn't fall down
And, my boy, that's what happened last week

Oh, the Owner told Clarence the clocker
The clocker told jockey McGee
The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse
And the horse told me

Tell the age of the beast by his teeth, and at least
His teeth in the paddock looked great
But this toothy old red had to sneeze in the stretch
And he won by the loss of a plate

Oh, the Owner told Clarencee the clocker
The clocker told jockey McGee
The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse
And the horse told me

I once bet on a steed of phenominal speed
Boy, she was fast as Aunt Nell
But the judges they cried, "This one's disqualified!
There's a jet engine under her tail"

Oh, the Owner told Clarence the clocker
The clocker told jockey McGee
The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse
And the horse told me

Tomorrow I'll bet just for kicks that I'll get
What's gold is just ol' yeller lead
I can lose with a grin, if the horse don't come in
I'll just blow a big hole in my head

Oh, the Owner told Clarence the clocker
The clocker told jockey McGee
The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse
And the horse told me

I had put down a deuce on a tip that got loose
This horse in the paddock looked stunning
I had overheard talk he could win in a walk
And he could, but the others were runnin'

Oh, the Owner told Clarence the clocker
The clocker told jockey McGee
The jockey, of course, passed it on to the horse
And the horse told me

That's what he said!

For the right one
You know that I found
No greater love under the Sun

And make sweet love to me (Dionne: Nooooooooooooh Baby)
I don't need another lover (Spinner: No, no, no) to belong (Dionne: No, no, no)
You're the love I need (Spinner: I believe your love)
Without you there's no real love
To keep me strong
And love me endlessly

I wanna be your fire

The Spinners:
Let me be your lover

Dionne:
Through the wind and the rain, through the dark of the day
The Spinners:
You're the love I need

Spinner:
I knew if I could just pass the test

The Spinners:
I don't need another lover
To call my own

Spinner:
We would have a love affair so much better than the rest
Ooooh, Baby

The Spinners:
And make sweet love to me ...

Long Live The Ladies


Long Live The Ladies
Composer(s): Joe Young - E. Ray Goetz - Geo. W. Meyer



Oh, bring on the ladies
"Hurry up," said Willie Snow
Go, bring on the ladies
For the party's getting slow
They soon brought up a few
One maid with eyes of blue
Was acting cute and cunning
Young Willie started humming

From the day of dimples, till the wrinkles trace your smile
Mothers, wives and sweethearts
Are what make your life worthwhile
If it was not for one
You wouldn't be here, son
So bear in mind you've got to
Live your life on this motto

Long live the ladies
May they all live long for me
Long live the ladies
They're as sweet as they can be
Oh, how I love to mix
With a perfect thirty six
If you think the girls are harmful
I'd like to be the pap of an armful
Long live the tall ones
They can never grow too tall
Long live the small ones
They don't have to grow at all
They're life's necessity
Like a lump of sugar in a cup of tea
Long live the ladies
The beautiful ladies for me

To Sing For You
Composer(s): Donovan
First release by: Donovan - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists



When you're feeling kind of lonesome in your mind
With a heartache following you so close behind
Call out to me as I ramble by
I'll sing a song for you
Thats's what I'm here to do
To sing for you

When the night has left you cold and feeling sad
I will show you that it cannot be so bad
Forget the one who went and made you cry
I'll sing a song for you
Thats's what I'm here to do
To sing for you

When you feel you just can't make it anymore
With your head bowed down you're staring at the floor
Search out to me with your weary eyes
I'll sing a song for you
Thats's what I'm here to do
To sing for you

Now every man he has his work you know
And to find out mine you ain't got far to go
Call out to me with your weary eyes
I'll sing a song for you
Thats's what I'm here to do
To sing for you

Looks like an angel dances like a devil

Look at the way she can pout with her lips now
(Jenny)
Long black hair and flsahing eyes she can really hypnotise
Dance dance dance
When she hears Rock'n'Roll tearing her heart and soul ...
Dance dance dance

The Groovy Age


The Groovy Age
Composer(s): Boyd Bennett - John Young
Performer(s): Boyd Bennett & His Rockets



(Thirteen-fourteen-fifteen-sixteen-seventeen-eighteen-nineteen, go!)

Under twenty, over twelve
Somewhere in-between
Hey boys, that's the groovy age
Really great I mean

When you're older, things are rough
Younger, you're too green
But when you're in that groovy age
Oh man, it sure is keen

Not a worry, not a care
Always havin' fun
In a hurry, on the tear
Got t'get some livin' done

Rockin' rollin' with the beat
It's a crazy rage
Under twenty, over twelve
That's the groovy age

Under twenty, over twelve
Somewhere in-between
Hey boy, that's the groovy age
Really great I mean

When you're older, things are rough
Younger, you're too green
But when you're in that groovy age
Oh man, it sure is keen

Not a worry, not a care
Always havin' fun
In a hurry, on the tear
Got t'get some livin' done

Rockin' rollin' with the beat
It's a crazy rage
Under twenty, over twelve
That's the groovy age
