I Think I Like You


I Think I Like You
From the musical "Doctor Dolittle"
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): Rex Harrison & Samantha Eggar



Emma:
For a month or more
I have listened and dreamed
While the moon has glistened
And a million stars
Have gleamed
Waiting!

Dolittle :
Waiting?

Emma:
Waiting!

Dolittle:
What for?

Emma :
For a man i know
Who is clever and kind
But a man who never
Ever seems to know
His mind
Waiting!
Waiting!

Waiting for you to say
You like me - or hate me
Or miss me - or kiss me
Or something! but nothing!
Nothing do you say
At all!
Little wonder, I feel sorely neglected
Unwanted, rejected
And small!
Little more than two feet tall!
Lucky to be here at all!

Dolittle:
Emma, I - er

I think i like you...
Yes, I think I do!
I think I like you...
I'm almost sure that I do!
I think I like the way you look
The way your eyes reveal your mind...
Like a precious book
That is hard to find

I think I'm learning
Something strange and new...
But well worth learning
Because I'm learning about you!
Like dawning sunshine
When a new day is due
I think I like you
And I think you like me, too!...
Do you?

Emma:
Do you?

Both:
Do you?

Emma:
Yes, i do...
... I'm almost sure that I do...
I think I like the way I feel
Each time I feel your eyes feel mine
Like a gourmet meal
Needs a vintage wine......

I think I'm seeing
Something strange but true
For what i'm seeing
Is something wonderful in you!
Like finding April
When December is due...
I think I like you...

Dolittle:
I think I like you.....

Both:
And I think you like me, too!.....

Dolittle:
Do you?

Emma:
Do you?

Both:
Do you?

Eine Stadt


Eine Stadt
((Adapted from: Billie's Bounce (Charley Parker's Ree Boppers) - 1946)) Composer(s): Charlie Parker Performer(s): Udo Lindenberg



Eine Stadt haben sie ausgelöscht
irgendwo ging das Ding hoch
eine Stadt haben sie ausgelöscht
irgendwo ging so'n Ding hoch

Japan - China - USA

ich weiß nicht mehr genau, wo das war
ich hab's vorhin gehört im Radio
so nebenbei - so undeutlich - irgendwo
eine Stadt haben sie ausgelöscht

Frankreich - England - Australia
ich weiß nicht mehr genau, wo das war
dann kam's auch noch auf Kanal Zwo
so nebenbei - so undeutlich - irgendwo
eine Stadt haben sie ausgelöscht

Merry go round, merry go round
and the summer has just begun

Tu (Umberto Tozzi)


Tu
Composer(s): G. Bigazzi - Umberto Tozzi
Performer(s): Umberto Tozzi



Dan
Dabadan, dabadan
Dabadan,bam, bam, bam, bam
Tu stiamo qui stiamo là
C’è l’amore a cena e tu
Dimmi si se ti va
Il mio letto è forte e tu
Pesi poco di più della gommapiuma
Tu perché tu non ci sei
E mi sto spogliando
Tu quanti anni mi dai
Ho un lavoro strano e
Ma va là che lo sai
Vista da vicino tu
Sei più bella che mai
Baci da un minuto
Tu non ne dai, non ne dai
Chi ti ha fatto entrare
Tu,chi mi brucia sei tu
E anche la mia marcia in più
Ed un po’ di follia
Quanto basta perché tu come lei non sei mia
Se mi fai l’amore
Ti canterò
Come se fossi una canzone
Canterò e camminando sveglierò
Chi sta sognando più di me
Al mondo siamo io e te ragazza triste
Canterò la pioggia perché venga giù
Il vento che si calmi un po’
Il cielo perché sia più blu e mi sorrida tu
Dan
Dabadan dabadan
Dabadan,bam, bam, bam, bam
Tu, non sarai mica tu
Una saponetta che
Scivolando non c’è
Dimmi che da un’ora tu
Hai bisogno di me
Che ti ossigeno di più
Dimmi che non sei tu
Un miraggio, ma sei tu
Dan
Dabadan, dabadan
Dabadan, bam, bam, bam.
Canterò e camminando sveglierò...

I Think I Like It


I Think I Like It
Composer(s): Tom Scholz; J. English
Performer(s): Boston



Somethin' changin' for me inside
Took a long time
Now there's nothing' for me to hide
I say what's on my mind
Changes makin' me see the light
I finally see wrong from right
Now I can see every sign

Oooh, I think I like it
I think I like what I'm feelin'
Eventhough it's such a surprise
But you know
Oooh, I think I really like it
I think I like what I feel and
Changes really open your eyes

Oh, look at the world we make
What have we begun?
People livin' for what they take
All for number one
Changes makin' me see the light
I finally see wrong from right
Now that it's all said and done

Oooh, I think I like it
I think I like what I'm feelin'
Eventhough it's such a surprise
But you know
Oooh, I think I really like it
I think I like what I feel and
Changes really open your eyes

Oh doesn't love say enough
When you realize?
People try to come on so tough
All to fantasize
Changes takin' me through the night
I finally see the light
I've opened my eyes
Those changes can open your eyes

Drum stehe ich Abend für Abend hier am Kai
Und warte auf die fremden Schiffe
Aus Hongkong, aus Java, aus Chile und Shanghai

Ein Schiff wird kommen
Und das bringt mir den einen
Den ich so lieb wie keinen
Und der mich glücklich macht
Ein Schiff wird kommen

I Think About It All The Time


I Think About It All The Time
Composer(s): Billy Livsey; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): John Berry; The Nashville All-Stars



The way you laugh, the way you cry
The way that you smile without meaning to
The way you look me in the eye
I think about it all the time

The day we met, the dress you wore
You didn't know I was watching you
I've seen your face somewhere before
And I think about it all the time

It wasn't supposed to happen to me
I'm used to how it used to be
It's not like I've got nothing to do
But I can't keep my mind off you
No I cannot keep my mind off you

You're not a thouqht that comes and goes
You're more than a dream or a fantasy
Where it will lead love only knows
But I think about it all the time
All right

I'm used to how it used to be
It's not like I've got nothing to do
But I can't keep my mind off you
No I cannot keep my mind off you

The way you laugh, the way you cry
The way that you smile without meaning to
I'm just a man I can't deny
But I think about it all the time

I think about it all the time
Oh yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby
I think about it all the time

Ein Lied


Ein Lied
Composer(s): D.L. Jones - Nick Munro Performer(s): Roger Whittaker



Wir haben tausend kleine Sorgen
und oft wird uns durch sie der Blick verstellt
Für weit größere Probleme und für all die vielen
ungelösten Fragen dieser Welt
Wir sprechen oft verschiedene Sprachen
Manches Missverständnis fängt so an
Gibt's nicht Worte die
die Menschen überall verstehen?
Gibt es nicht vielleicht ein Lied
dass jeder singen kann?

Wir brauchen ein Lied für uns alle zusammen
Ein Lied, Brücke zwischen Freund und Feind
Wer die Welt sieht weiß, dass uns die Zeit davonläuft
Wir brauchen ein Lied, das uns eint

Es sind zwar viele guten Willens
Doch der Einzelne schafft es niemals allein
Komm, versuchen wir's gemeinsam
denn unsere Zukunft fängt schon heute an
Vielleicht das uns ein Lied dabei helfen kann

Wir brauchen ein Lied für uns alle zusammen
Nur ein Lied, Brücke zwischen Freund und Feind
Wer die Welt sieht weiß, dass uns die Zeit davonläuft
Wir brauchen ein Lied, nur ein Lied, das uns eint

Trying To Love Two Women


Trying To Love Two Women
Composer(s): Sonny Throckmorton
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



Trying to love two women is like a ball and chain
Trying to love two women is like a ball and chain
Sometimes the pleasure ain't worth the strain
It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind

Trying to hold two women is tearing me apart
Trying to hold two women is tearing me apart
One's got my money, the other's got my heart
It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind

When you try to please two women, you can't please yourself
When you try to please two women, you can't please yourself
At best it's only half good; a man can't stock two shelves
It's a long old grind, and it tires your mind

Old Man Atom


Old Man Atom (aka Talking Atomic Blues)
Composer(s): Vern Partlow; Irving Bibo
Performer(s): Sons of The Pioneers; The Weavers



Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

I'm gonna preach you all a sermon
About Old Man Atom, that's me
I don't mean the Adam in the Bible datum
I don't mean the Adam that Mother Eve elated

I mean that thing that science liberated
The thing that Einstein says he's scared of
And when Einstein's scared
Brother, you'd better be scared

If you're scared of the atom, here's what's you gotta do
You gotta gather all the people in the world with you
'Cause if you don't get together and do it
Well, first thing you know I'm gonna blow this world plum too

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

Now life used to be such a simple joy
My cyclotron was just a super toy
And folks got born, they'd work and marry
And "atom" was a word in the dictionary
And then it happened

The science boys, from every clime
They all pitched in with overtime
And before they knew it
The thing was done

And they'd hitched up the power of the Golden Sun
And put a harness on Old Sol
Splittin' atoms
While the diplomats was splittin' hairs

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

But the atom's here in spite of hysteria
Flourishes in Utah as well as Siberia
And whether you're a black, white, red or brown
The question is this, when you boil it down
To be or not to be, that's the question

The answer to it all ain't military datum
Like who gets there firstest with the mostest atoms
No, the people of the world must decide their fate
They gotta get together or disintegrate

I hold this truth to be self-evident
That all men may be cremated equal

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

Yes, it's up to the people
'Cause the atoms don't care
You can't fence me in, I'm just like air
I don't give a hoot about any politics
Or who got what into whichever fix

All I want to do is sit around
And have my nucleus bombarded by neutrons

Now the moral is this, just as plain as day
That Old Man Atom is here to stay
I'm gonna stick around and that's for true
But, ah, my dearly beloved, are you?

So listen folks, here is my thesis
Peace in the world or the world in pieces

Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Alamogordo, Bikini

Ein Kleines Glück


Ein Kleines Glück
((French Version: Petit Bonheur (Salvatore Adamo))
Composer(s): Salvatore Adamo
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Wababababa...

Du und ich das wäre schön
sagte mir dein allererster Blick bereits
dir und mir war klar das war
echte Liebe deiner- und auch meinerseits
aber meine Kleine eins bringt mich fast um
ich finde dieses Lied das Eine
das du gern singst ein bißchen dumm

Ein kleines Glück wird einmal groß
wenn du nur warten kannst dann fällt es auch in deinen Schoß
ist Liebe da nur eine Spur
mit jedem Tag mit jedem Schwur wird sie doch größer nur

Herz an Herz und Hand in Hand
fliegen nur die Jahre so dahin im Nu
du wirst seh’n im Handumdreh’n
gehen wir gemeinsam auf die Hundert zu
aber meine Kleine dann bringt eins mich um
wenn du, du weißt schon was ich meine
noch immer singst schon alt und krumm

Ein kleines Glück wir einmal groß
wenn du nur warten kannst dann fällt es auch in deinen Schoß
ist Liebe da nur eine Spur
mit jedem Tag mit jedem Schwur wird sie doch größer nur

Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again


Tryin' To Get The Feeling Again
Composer(s): David Pomeranz
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today
Could you maybe give me something?
'Cause the feeling is gone and I must get it back right away
Before she sees that
I've been up, down, trying to get the feeling again
All around, trying to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver
Made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in

And I've looked high (high), low (low)
Everywhere I possibly can (high)
But there's no (no) trying to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came

Where did it run to?
I thought I'd done all that I could
Just to keep the love light burning
But whatever I've done, guess I just haven't done it too good
'Cause all that's left is
I've been up, down, trying to get the feeling again
All around, trying to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high (high) and low (low)
And everywhere I possibly can (high)
But there's no (no) trying to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came

And I've been lookin', I've been lookin', I've been lookin'
I've been up (up), I've been down (down), and trying to get the feeling
I've been up (up), I've been down (down), I've been trying to get
I've tried and I've tried and I've tried to get (up) the feeling (down)
I've been trying to get the feeling again
I want to get that feeling
I want to get that feeling
I've got to get that feeling
I've got to get that feeling again (up)
And again (down) and again (trying to get that feeling)
Trying to get (up) the feeling (down)
I've been trying to get the feeling again!!!

I Thank You (Sam & Dave)


I Thank You
Composer(s): Isaac Hayes; David Porter
First release by: Sam & Dave - 1968
Covered by multiple other artists



(I want everybody to get up off your seat)
(And get your arms together, and your hands together)
(And give me some of that o-o-old soul clapping)

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you

You didn't have to squeeze me like you did
But you did, but you did
And I thank you

If you took your love to somewhere else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for help

You didn't have to squeeze me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you

You didn't have to hold me but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you

Every day was something new
You pull out your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you

You didn't have to shake me like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you

You didn't have to make it like you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you

All my life I've been shortchanged
Without your love baby, it's a crying shame
And now I know what the fellas are talking about
When they say that they been turned out

I want to thank you (thank you)
Thank you (oh, baby)
Thank you baby (yeah, yeah)
Oh baby (I gotta be thanking)
Got to say

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did
(And I thank you)

You didn't have to hold me like you did
But you did, but you did
(And I thank you)

Thank you (thank you, baby)
Baby (Got to thank you)
Baby (oh, baby)
Thank! I've! Got! I've got to (thank you baby)
Thank you baby (oh baby) ...

Ein Kleiner Mann In Einer Flasche


Ein Kleiner Mann In Einer Flasche
Composer(s): Billy Meshel - Curl List Performer(s): Agnetha Fältskog



Jede Frau sucht einen Mann
Dem sie alles sagen kann
Der nicht widerspricht und niemals schimpft
So ein Exemplar, das weiss ich
Gibt es auf der ganze Welt nicht
Deshalb habe ich jetzt ein komische Idee

Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche
Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche
D'rum verstecke ihn an einem guten Ort
Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche
Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche
D'rum pass auf, sonst nimmt ihn dir noch jemand fort

Füllst du dich allein und einsam
Weil kein Mensch bei dir vorbei kam
Sei nicht traurig, das geht schnell vorbei
Hol' aus deine Reisetasche
Die versteckte grüne Flasche
Mach sie auf und plötzlich kannst du wieder glücklich sein

Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche
Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche
D'rum verstecke ihn an einem guten Ort
Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche
Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche
D'rum pass auf, sonst nimmt ihn dir noch jemand fort

Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche
Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche
D'rum verstecke ihn an einem guten Ort
Ein kleiner Mann in einer Flasche
Ist 'ne völlig neue Masche
D'rum pass auf, sonst nimmt ihn dir noch jemand fort

Trying So Hard To Forget


Trying So Hard To Forget
Composer(s): Peter Green - Adams
Performer(s): Peter Green & Duster Bennett



You know life can be so sad
Sometimes you just sit right down and cry
You know life can be so sad
Sometimes you just sit right down, and you cry

Sometimes your luck it gets so bad
Maybe you'd be better off if you should die
Yes I've tried so hard not to remember
And people I've tried so hard to forget
I've tried so hard not to remember
And people I've tried so hard to forget

But I can't stop my mind wandering
Back to the days I was just a down trodden kid
Some folks have such a good life
You know they just get on that big train, and you ride
You know some folks have such a good life
They just get on that big train, and you ride

I would spend most of my days
Running and hiding from the world outside
If I ever get to heaven
You know, that sure would ease my worried mind
Yes, if I ever get to heaven
That sure would ease my worried life
You know when I find that place in the sky
People I'm gonna leave this old world behind

Ladies and gentlemen, I must tell you something
My life looks very beautiful to me right now
And in – thank you for sharing it with me
And in front of you, I would like to thank the man who brought me into it

Ein Bild Kann Nicht Lachen So Wie Du


Ein Bild Kann Nicht Lachen So Wie Du
Composer(s): M. Holm - Peter Maffay Performer(s): Peter Maffay



Wie eine Festung ist dein Haus
und ich klopf' an deine Tür
Mach auf! Alle Fenster sind ohne Leben

und ich fühl' es
du wohnst nicht mehr hier

In Gedanken geh' ich heim
Und ich spür bei jedem Schritt Einsamkeit
Oh
deine Bilder in meinem Zimmer
sind wie Träume einer schönen Zeit

Doch ein Bild kann nicht lachen so wie du
Ja
und ein Bild kann nicht zärtlich weinen so wie du
Oh nein
ein Bild kann nicht zärtlich sein

es kann mich nicht verstehn
und ich muß meinen Weg alleine gehn

Tausend Straßen tausendmal
wenn man liebt
was bedeutet dann eine Zahl
Ich muß dich suchen
solang' ich lebe
und dein Bild trag ich bei mir überall
Doch ein Bild kann nicht lachen so wie du

Trying

Performer(s): The Hilltoppers
and multiple other artists



I'm tryin' to forget you, but try as I may
You're still my every thought, Dear, every day
No use tryin' to forget you 'cause I realise
That I'm trying to forget you with tears in my eyes

And those teardrops only remind me
That I love you more and more
So, I'll put my foolish pride behind me
And go knockin', knockin' at your door

And I'll be tryin' to impress you
Hopin' to possess you
Now I know I haven't a chance, Dear, there's no denyin'
But you can't blame a fellow for tryin'

And those teardrops only remind me
That I love you more and more
So, I'll put my foolish pride behind me
And go knockin', knockin' at your door

And I'll be tryin' to impress you
Hopin' to possess you
Now I know I haven't a chance, Dear, there's no denyin'
But you can't blame a fellow for tryin'

I Thank The Moon


I Thank The Moon
Composer(s): Billy Dawn Smith
Performer(s): The Crests; The Arrogants; Johnny Maestro



Yes it's true when they say that when the moon is high
It casts a magic light on lovers
I fell in love with you on a perfect night in June
And darling I thank the moon

While we walked through the park the moon was in a cloud
I wanted to cry out loud I love you
Just then the moon appeared and two hearts began to spoon
And darling I thank the moon

Remember I was afraid and shy to tell what was in my heart
Then the moon seemed to say you're in love
We kissed and gave love its start
It's true when they say that when the moon's in sight
It casts a magic light on lovers

It made you love me too on a perfect night in June
And darling I thank the moon
I thank the moon

18 Yellow Roses


18 Yellow Roses
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
First release: Bobby Darin - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists

Versions In Other Languages:
1964 - 18 Žutih Ruža (Miodrag Jevremovic)
1974 - 18 Røde Roser (Johnny Reimar)



Eignteen yellow roses came today
Eighteen yellow roses in a pretty bouquet
When the boy came to the door
I didn't know what to say
But eighteen yellow roses came today
I opened up the card to see what it said
I couldn't believe my eyes
When I had read
Though you belong to another I love you anyway
Yes eighteen yellow roses came today

I never doubted your love for a minute
I always thought that you would be true
But now this box and the flowers in it
I guess there's nothin' left for me to do
But ask to meet the boy that's done this thing
And find out if he's got plans to buy you a ring
'Cause eighteen yellow roses will wilt and die one day
But a father's love will never fade away
Will never fade away
