Jimmy C'Est Lui
Jimmy C'Est Lui
Composer(s): Kamke; Wal Berg
Performer(s): Edith Piaf
Le ciel est blanc blanc
Et déserte l'immensité blanche
De neige blanche
Comme un point noir noir noir
Seul, erre, minuscule
Un nègre vêtu de noir
Et qui titube
Et se lamente
Jimmy mon ami
D'où es-tu, oh oh oh
Tu es perdu, Jimmy
Tu es perdu, salaud
Le grand Jimmy gémit oh oh
La poudre blanche t'a brûlé les yeux Jimmy
T'as peur, maintenant
Jimmy, tu te sauveras
Tout n'est que brouillard
Ah mais là-bas, tiens, tu vois
Tu vois près de toi
Ah ah, s'approchant
Le soleil, les palmiers
L'oasis Takana
Jimmy, mon ami
Tu chantes oh oh oh
Tu es heureux, Jimmy
Tu es dans ton pays
Soleil oh oh te brûle Jimmy
Le délire est dans ton cerveau
Le noir est blanc vêtu de blanc
Et la neige met sa robe blanche
Comme la balance
Dans ce désert, désert
Seul, perdu, minuscule
Le nègre tout recouvert
Plus de murmure
Mais l'écho chante
Jimmy, mon ami
Où es-tu oh oh?
Tu t'es perdu, Jimmy
Tu t'es perdu, salaud
Le vent, salaud
Le vent, oh oh
La poudre blanche t'a fermé les yeux, Jimmy
Tu dors maintenant
Jimmy, qui te sauvera?
Tout n'est que brouillard
Ah mais là-bas, tiens, tu vois
Tu vois près de toi
Ah ah, s'approchant
Ton soleil, les palmiers
L'oasis Takana
Jimmy, mon ami
Tu n'es plus ooh ooh
Tout est fini, Jimmy
Le monde t'a trahi
Le monde, salaud, te laisse crever
Tu n'as plus qu'à foutre le camp
Là-haut

I Forgot The Little Things
I Forgot The Little Things
Composer(s): Parker; Charles
Performer(s): Leslie Hutchinson
The house is kind of empty now
Though it’s full of dreams
Why even our canary never sings
That oh so empty chair
You should be sitting there
But I forgot the little things
I took it all for granted, dear
My slippers by the fire
The kindness that a love like yours could bring
But you drew all the blanks
You never got a “thanks”
I forgot the little things
I never thought a small bouquet
Could mean so much to you
Or what you’d give to hear me say
“Darling I love you, I do”
I’ll never make the same mistake
I’ve learnt my lesson now
I know they count those foolish little things
Forgive me, dear, and then
When we’re in love again
I won’t forget those little things

Jimmy
Jimmy
Performer(s): Boudewijn de Groot
Hoe sterk is de eenzame fietser
Die krom gebogen over z'n stuur tegen de wind
Zichzelf een weg baant
Hoe zelfbewust de voetbalspeler
Die voor de ogen van het publiek de wedstrijd wint
Zich kampioen waant
Hoe lacht vergenoegd de zakenman
Zonder mededogen die concurrent verslagen vindt
Zelf haast failliet gaand
En ik zit hier tevreden met die kleine op mijn schoot
De zon schijnt er is geen reden
Met rotweer en met harde wind
Te gaan fietsen met dat kind
Als-ie maar geen voetballer wordt
Ze schoppen hem misschien halfdood
Als-ie maar geen voetballer wordt
Ze schoppen hem misschien halfdood
refr.:
Maar liever dat nog
Dan het bord voor zijn kop van de zakenman
Want daar wordt-ie alleen maar slechter van
refr.(10x)

I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know
I Forgot More Than You'll Ever Know
Composer(s): Cecil A. Null
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
and multiple other artists
I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him
You think you know the smile on his lips
The thrill at the touch of his fingertips
But I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him
You think you'll find a heaven of bliss
In each caress each tender kiss
But I've forgotten more than you'll ever know about him
You stole his love from me one day
You didn't care how you hurt me
But you can never steal away
Memories of what used to be
You think he's your's to have and to hold
Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold
That I've forgotten more about him
Than you'll ever know about him
You think he's yours to have and to hold
Someday you'll learn when his love grows cold
But I've forgotten more
Than you'll ever know about him

Most ev'rybody knows I am the newsboy of the town
Im very cold and hungry, Sir, my clothes are worn and thin
I wander about from place to place, my daily bread I win
Don't never mind, Sir, how I look, don't swear at me or frown
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
My Father died a drunkard, Sir, I've heard my Mother say
I am helping Mother, Sir, as I journey on my way
I sell the morning paper, Sir, my name is Jimmy Brown
Most ev'rybody knows me I am the newsboy of the town
My Mother always tells me, Sir, I've nothing in the world to lose
I'll get a place in Heaven, Sir, to sell the Gospel News

Most ev'rybody knows me I am the newsboy of the town

Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
and multiple other artists
I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin
This time it's different, dah dah dah dah
It's all because of you, dah dah dah dah
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it through
Oohh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say to take my breath away
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
'Cause whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone, ooh, someone
I finally found someone, oooh
Did I keep you waiting, I didn't mind
I apologize, baby, that's fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
And I love your hair, sure it looks fine
I love what you wear, is it too tight?
You're exceptional, I can't wait for the rest of my life
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
'Cause whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone, ooh, someone
I finally found someone, oooh
Whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone

J'Imagine
J'Imagine
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
J'imagine
La révolte prêchée par quelque douce femme
Deux mille ans de prison dévorés par les flammes
J'imagine
L'amour faisant l'amour la vie faisant le reste
Une révolution sans un mot sans un geste
Et la grande libert
Au poing la rose
Et la grande liberté
La rose au poing
Et la grande liberté
La rose au poing
J'imagine
Un peuple dynamite et pourtant sans défense
Tout en lui ne serait qu'amour et transparence
J'imagine
Un hiver tout de neige et fleurissant quand même
Pour des femmes-chansons pour des hommes-poèmes
Et la grande liberté
Au poing la rose
Et la grande liberté
La rose au poing
Et la grande liberté
La rose au poing
J'imagine
L'Occident sans ghettos le Brésil sans torture
Et l'Afrique riant comme source d'eau pure
J'imagine
Le soleil se levant sur l'Asie douce et libre
La vie enfin la vie comme il faudra la vivre
Et la grande liberté
Au poing la rose
Et la grande liberté
La rose au poing
Et la grande liberté
La rose au poing

I Figli Della Guerra
I Figli Della Guerra
((French Version: Les Enfants De La Guerre (by Charles Aznavour))
Composer(s): Georges Calabrese - Charles Aznavour
Performer(s): Charles Aznavour
Tutti i figli di guerra assomigliano a te
Con l'età di un bambino che bambino non è
Su di un pianto di madre venivi al mondo tu
Tutti i figli di guerra han veduto con te
Lacerarsi la terra senza un vero perché
Il tuo campo di giochi cresceva intorno a te
Un giardino di croci, che un giardino non è
Tutti i figli di guerra sanno questa realtà
Che la fame è sicura, il domani chissà
Hanno un viso da grandi che non chiede e non sa
Il diritto all'amore che nessuno gli dà
Tutti i figli di guerra alla stessa tua età
Han dormito ad un canto che la gioia non ha
Han dormito ad un canto che la gioa non ha
E imparato a tacere se una parola in più
Troppe volte vuol dire non tornare mai più
Tutti i figli di guerra, ieri come sei tu
Hanno occhi profondi che non ridono più
Grandi mani straniere hanno ucciso per te
Tutte le primavere che spettavano a te
Come te, senza amore, senza infanzia né età
Indifesi a tremare per quel che sarà
Han sofferto in silenzio il rosario dei guai
Carezzando speranze per non cedere mai
Sulle nostre miserie di sempre io e te, s
Trano a dirsi, cantiamo e sogniamo perché
Questo amore è una guerra che non spaventa me
Né tutti i figli di guerra, come te, come me

Jim, Jack And Rose
Jim, Jack And Rose
Composer(s): Larry Kingston
Performer(s): Johnny Bush
These three close friends and I
Get together every night
At the Tavern at Broadway and First
Then we sit way in the back
Me and Jim, Rose and Jack
Where we silently work on my thirst
Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Sweet Gypsy Rose
Their always wherever I go
Their the only friends I got
And I'm proud I've got to know
Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Sweet Gypsy Rose
Real friends who understand,
They don't resist my shaky hand
They sit and listen and I never must insist
Gypsy Rose watches my eyes
And if she thinks I'm about to cry
She caresses my lips with her kiss
Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Sweet Gypsy Rose
Their always wherever I go
Their the only friends I've got
And I'm proud I got to know
Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Sweet Gypsy Rose

I Feel The Magic
Composer(s): Charlotte Caffey; J. Segal
Performer(s): Belinda Carlisle
Last night I gave up on myself
I hit the bed, tell me what should I do
And in a dream I saw your face
It's more than just a face
You make me want to give my heart away
I feel the magic
Like I never felt before
I imagine that it's always been there
I feel the magic
There's an angel looking after me
Angel baby give me more and more
Today I woke up by myself
I hit the streets I wondered what should I do
I never noticed from the start
That I could feel alive again
That I could feel a part of
I feel the magic
Like I never felt before
I imagine that it's always been there
I feel the magic
There's an angel looking after me
Angel baby give me more and more

Tied me on a runaway horse

Who can't stand to see a little girl cry

Got a message from my mermaid queen
She was hanging on a fishing line
Mr. Dandy didn't waste no time!
Jim Dandy to the rescue!

Once upon a time, I went to Maine
Got a ticket on a DC plane

First release by: Carole King - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can't stand it
When you look at me that way
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you're around
Oh, darling, when you're near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions
Are something I just can't tame
I've just got to have you, baby
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I just lose control
Down to my very soul
I get a hot and cold all over
I feel the earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
Tumbling down, tumbling down...

Jim
Jim
Composer(s): Caesar Petrillo;
Edward Ross; Nelson Shawn
Performer(s): Billie Holiday;
and various other artists
Why am I sitting alone tonight
when I could be out where the lights are bright?
It's all because of Jim
It's all because of Jim
Why am I wasting these precious years?
Why am I crying these bitter tears?
It's all because of Jim
It's all because of Jim
(Chorus):
Jim doesn't ever bring me pretty flowers
Jim never tries to cheer my lonely hours
Don't know why I'm so crazy for Jim
Jim never tells me I'm his heart's desire
I never seem to set his love afire
Gone are the years I've wasted on him
Sometimes when I get feeling low
I say "Let's call it quits"
Then I hang on and let him go
Breaking my heart in bits
Some day I know that Jim will up and leave me
But even if he does you can believe me
I'll go on carrying the torch for Jim

Maria:
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight
I feel charming
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
Girls:
Have you met my good friend Maria
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas
Keep away from her
Send for Chino!
This is not the
Maria we know!
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!
Maria:
I feel pretty
Oh, so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honor me
Girls:
La la la la...
Maria:
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign!
Girls:
La la la la...
Maria:
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
Girls:
What mirror where?
Maria:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Girls:
Which? What? Where? Whom?

Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
Girls:
Such a pretty me!

Feel like running and dancing for joy

Jilted, I've been jilted
You've found a new love
Didn't even say, "We're through, Love"
Jilted, I've been jilted
But I'm as happy as can be
I've been thinking it over
Ever since your slippin' around begun
Now I'll become a rover
Two can play that game as well as one
And even though our hot romance has
Wilted, wilted, thanks for the favour
Baby, you're a real lifesaver
I'm happy that you jilted me
So I've been jilted
I've been jilted
But I'm as happy as can be
I've been thinking it over
Ever since your slippin' around begun
Now I'll become a rover
Two can play that game as well as one
And even though our hot romance has
Wilted, wilted, thanks for the favour
Baby, you're a real lifesaver
I'm happy that you jilted me

We strolled the lane together
Laughed at the rain together
Sang loves refrain together
And we’d both pretend it would never end

Passed love aside together
You’re gone from me but in my memory
We always will be together

We strolled the lane together
