Se Mi Vuoi Sempre Bene


Se Mi Vuoi Sempre Bene - 1967 (aka Mondo Di Uomini - 1966)
(Adapted from: It's A Man's Man's Man's World - 1966)
Composer(s): Betty Jean Newsome; James Brown; Sergio Bardotti; Luigi Tenco
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer - 1967



Se mi vuoi sempre bene
Se tu mi vuoi sempre bene
Non mi devi lasciar
Oh no
Ho bisogno di te
Anche se trovi
Che sono piu' silenzioso
E se non ti guardo piu'
Come ti guardavo prima
Anche se qualche volta
Ti pare quasi di odiarmi
E se ti stanco solo
Stando vicino a te
Se mi vuoi bene bene bene
Oh no
Non mi devi lasciar
Ho bisogno di te...
Anche se tu pensi
Che per nulla
Ho buttato via
Per fare un po' di musica
La tua vita e la mia
Anche quando l'eta'
Avra' tutto cambiato
E anche quando saprai
Che niente serve a niente
Se mi vuoi bene
Bene bene bene
Non mi devi lasciar
Ho bisogno di te
Oh no
Ti voglio bene sai...

Si Tu M'aimes Encore


Si Tu M'aimes Encore
(Adapted from: It's A Man's Man's Man's World - 1966)
(Italian Versions: Mondo Di Uomini - 1966; Se Mi Vuoi Sempre Bene - 1967)
Composer(s): Betty Jean Newsome; James Brown; Nino Ferrer
Performer(s): Nino Ferrer - 1966



Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais
jamais tout seul, je t'aime trop!

Même si tu crois qu'on n'a plus rien à se dire
Et même si le temps passé a fait passer notre désir
Même si tu te rends compte que tu me hais parfois
Même si je te fatigue, simplement parce que je suis là

Dis si tu m'aimes, m'aimes, m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais, non jamais tout seul
Je t'aime trop!

Même si tu penses que j'ai détruit de mes mains
Ma vie pour ma musique et la tienne pour rien
Même quand l'hiver de l'âge aura flétri nos corps
Et même lorsque tu sauras que rien ne sert à rien

Dis, si tu m'aimes encore
Ne me laisse jamais, non jamais, tout seul
Je t'aime trop!

Je t'aime, dis mon pauvre amour
Je t'aime et ne sais pas le dire
Je t'aime {ad lib}

That's Old Fashioned (That's The Way Love Should Be)


That's Old Fashioned (That's The Way Love Should Be)
Composer(s): Bill Giant - Bernie Baum - Florence Kaye
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



We hold hands in the movie show
So they say that we’re old fashioned
Or we stroll beneath the silv’ry moon, oo-oo-oo-oon
And we carve our initials in the old oak tree
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be

We enjoy sitting side by side
In the booth in the ice cream parlor
Where we play the nickelodeon, ah-ah-ah-ahn
And we dance when we hear our favorite melody
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be

It’s a modern changing world
Everything is moving fast
But when it comes to love I like
What they did in the past

I’m the kind who loves only one
So the boys say I’m old fashioned
Let them laugh, honey I don’t mi-i-i-i-ind
I’ve made plans for a wedding day for you and me
That’s old fashioned, that’s the way love should be

It's A Lowdown Dirty Deal


It's A Lowdown Dirty Deal
Composer(s): John L. Crainer; T-Bone Walker
Performer(s): T-Bone Walker



It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more

I tried to please her but it only made her mad
I tried to please her but it only made her mad
She done strip me and took everything I had

Now what you gonna do with a woman like that?
Now what you gonna do with a woman like that?
Who takes all your money yes and leaves you flat?

Yes it's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more
Now it was money in the morning, and money every night

If I didn't have no money, she was ready to fight
It's great to be rich and a doggone shame to be poor
It's a lowdown dirty deal when your woman don't want you no more

Chrissy, The Christmas Mouse


Chrissy, The Christmas Mouse
Composer(s): Louis S. Filardi
Performer(s): Donald O'Connor



All of Santa's reindeer pull his sleigh
And that's their claim to fame
But in Santa's house, there lives a little mouse
And Chrissy is her name

Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh

Now the story goes that Chrissy's nose
Was also big and bright
But we all know she did not go
On that famous ride that night

Christmas day found her sad and blue
And Santa said, "What's wrong with you?"
She said, "I'm here all alone each day
While you're out riding in your Christmas sleigh"

Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh

Now every day she would beg and plead
With Santa and his wife
"Oh Santa, Santa", Chrissy said
"Please let me ride upon your Christmas sled"

And Santa said to Mrs. Claus
"Did Chrissy finish all her chores?"
"She cleaned her room, and made her bed
Please let her ride in your Christmas sled"

Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
And all day long she would romp and play
And help Santa load his Christmas sleigh

Now on Christmas eve when the moon is high
And the children are all in bed
Just look above and see our love
Riding in Santa's sled

Oh Chrissy, the Christmas mouse
Lives in the middle of Santa's house
She's so happy on Christmas day
Because she rides on Santa's sleigh
"Merry Christmas everybody!"
"Merry Christmas!"
"Yeah!"

It's a lovely day tomorrow

Come and feast your tear-dimmed eyes

Child's Christmas In Wales


Child's Christmas In Wales
Composer(s): John Cale
Performer(s): John Cale



With mistletoe and candle green
To Halloween we go
Ten murdered oranges bled on board ship
Lends comedy to shame
The cattle graze bold uprightly
Seducing down the door
To saddle swords and meeting place
We have no place to go

Then wearily the footsteps worked
The hallelujah crowds
Too late but wait the long legged bait
Tripped uselessly around
Sebastopol Adrianapolis
The prayers of all combined
Take down the flags of ownership
The walls are falling down

A belt to hold
Columbus too, perimeters of nails
Perceived the Mamma's golden touch
Good neighbors were we all

It's A Lovely Day Today


It's A Lovely Day Today
Composer(s): Irving Berlin
Performer(s): Russell Nype & Galina Talva
and multiple other artists



Male:
It's a lovely day today
So whatever you've got to do
You've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true

And I hope whatever you've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
For I'd really like to stay

It's a lovely day today
And whatever you've got to do
I'd be so happy to be doing it with you

But if you've got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day

Female:
It's a lovely day today
And whatever I've got to do
I've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true

But perhaps whatever I've got to do
Is something that can be done by two
If it is then you could stay

It's a lovely day today
But you're probably busy too
So I suppose there's nothing we can do

For if you've got something that must be done
And it can only be done by one
There is nothing more to say
Except it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day

Male:
It's a lovely day today
If you've something that must get done
Now don't forget two heads are better than just one

And besides I'm certain if you knew me
You'd find I'm very good company
Won't you kindly let me stay?

Both:
It's a lovely day today
And whatever we've got to do
We've got a lovely day to do it in, that's true

And I know whatever we've got to do
Is something that can be done by two

I'll say it's a lovely day for saying
It's a lovely day

A Children's Winter


A Children's Winter Composer(s): Dermot O'Reilly Performer(s): Danny O'Flaherty; The Irish Descendants



The winter snow is a child's delight
As it brightens up the winter night
And coats the earth in a cheery white
As it softly drifts upon it

The smiling faces watch the ground
As the snow is falling all around
And through the glass there comes no sound
As the snowflakes melt upon it

Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

The morning comes and the children play
Their laughter rings out through the day
They hope the snow is here to stay
And it won't be gone tomorrow

Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

Sliding, running down the hill
The time for fun is now but still
As they climb up life's' long hill
They're sure to meet some sorrow

Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

Snow Man, Snow House
Hey, play with me
Shake the snow down from the tree
Games once played by you and me
Snow is softly falling

It's A Love Thing


It's A Love Thing
Composer(s): Dana Meyers; William Shelby
Performer(s): The Whispers



It's a love thing
It's a love thing
It's a love thing, thing

The look in your eyes
Is more than enough
To make my poor heart
Burst into flames

Knew from the moment we met
That there was no doubt
That my life would never be the same

I could never hide the feelings
That come over me
When you're near me
I know that's how it's suppose to be
My heart keeps telling me

It's a love thing, yeah
Got me talkin in my sleep
About the love we made

It's a love thing
It's a love thing
Love thing, yeah

Such a feeling I get
Whenever we touch
Girl like no other
I felt before
It's still so new and yet
I need you so much
Got to make you mine
Forever more

You're the kinda woman
That can turn my world around
Cause you show me what
A selfish love is all about
Without a doubt

It's a love thing
I feel that pounding in my heart
When you call my name
It's a love thing

It's a love thing
Love thing, thing
It's a love thing

Every time that you're near
It becomes so clear
It's a love thing
It's a love thing
Love thing, yeah

It's A Long Way Up


It's A Long Way Up
Composer(s): John Annesi; Barry Manilow
Performer(s): Barry Manilow



Once you find what matters in your life
Keep on pushing through the darkness
Till you see the light
You're gonna find it
You're no longer behind it

Once you learn what you've been doing wrong
You can make the change
You need to make to carry on
Now and forever
The sooner the better, just remember now . . .

It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
You got to fight a little harder
You got to push a little more
You got to gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
'Cause it's a long way up
You've been down before but that's okay
You can rest assured
That every dog will have his day
And life is a jungle
But you ain't gonna crumble, remember now . . .

It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
It's a long way up
When you're coming from nowhere
You got to fight a little harder
You got to push a little more
You got to gamble everything you got
To get you through the door
'Cause it's a long way up

Don't give up the dream
Hey don't you know it's dark before the dawn
When you think you just can't take it
That's when you'll make it

Child Of Winter


Child Of Winter
Composer(s): Steve Kalinich - Brian Wilson
Performer(s): The Beach Boys



A child of winter, a child of the snow
I'm making a snowball that someone will throw
I'm making a snowman with charcoal for the eyes
A scarf draped in red and a derby on his head

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Are pulling on the reins
Bells are ringing, children singing
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight

The eve of christmas, presents have been passed
The wood in the fireplace is glowing it's last
I'm closing my eyes now, in my bed I'm snuggling
Outside my window the carolers sing

Christmas comes and the snow covers all
Trees are decorated with tinsel and lights
Mama's in the kitchen making cookies and bread
The children are hungry, they're waiting to be fed

A child of Christmas, a child of snow
A wonderful feeling underneath the mistletoe
And may your Christmas last all year
With laughter of children, peace and cheer

A child of Christmas, a child of snow
A wonderful feeling underneath the mistletoe
Merry Christmas to you
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells
Ding dong ding go the bells

It's A Long Way To Tipperary


It's A Long Way To Tipperary
Composer(s): Jack Judge; Harry H. Williams
Performer(s): John McCormack
and multiple other artists



Up to mighty London came an Irishman one day
As the streets were paved with gold, sure ev'ry one was gay
Singing songs of Piccadilly, Strand and Leicester Square
Till Paddy got excited, then he shouted to them there

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!

Paddy wrote a letter to his Irish Molly O'
Saying "Should you not receive it, write and let me know!
If I make mistakes in spelling, Molly dear", said he
"Remember it's the pen that's bad, don't lay the blame on me"

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!

Molly wrote a neat reply to Irish Paddy O'
Saying "Mike Maloney wants to marry me, and so
Leave the Strand and Piccadilly, or you'll be to blame
For love has fairly drove me silly - hoping you're the same!"

It's a long way to Tipperary
It's a long way to go
It's a long way to Tipperary
To the sweetest girl I know!
Goodbye Piccadilly! Farewell Leicester Square!
It's a long, long way to Tipperary
But my heart's right there!

Tess's Torch Song


Tess's Torch Song
Composer(s): Harold Arlen - Ted Koehler
Performer(s): Dinah Shore
and multiple other artists



I had a man
He was a good man
That is, you see, what I mean is
I thought he was a good man

I had a friend
She was a good friend
I told my friend 'bout my man 'cause
I thought she was a good friend

Life was sweet
Didn't I have my man?
World complete
Then the fireworks began

Ain't got no man
Ain't got no friend
I bet you can guess
Just exactly what happened

That was the end
The end of my friend
The end of my man
And darn near the end of me

Life was sweet
Didn't I have my man?
World complete
Then the fireworks began

Ain't got no man
Ain't got no friend
I bet you can guess
Just exactly what happened

That was the end
The end of my friend
The end of my man
And darn near the end of me

First release by: AC/DC - 1975
Covered by multiple other artists



Ridin' down the highway
Goin' to a show
Stop in all the by-ways
Playin' rock 'n' roll
Gettin' robbed
Gettin' stoned
Gettin' beat up
Broken boned

I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks

It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you think it's easy doin' one night stands
Try playin' in a rock roll band
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll

Hotel, motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Gettin' old
Gettin' grey
Gettin' ripped off
Under-paid
Gettin' sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playin' in a band

It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
It's a long way to the top
If you wanna rock 'n' roll
Well, it's a long way
It's a long way, (they tell me)
It's a long way, such a long way

C'est Noël


C'est Noël
Composer(s): Michel Rivard - Claude Meunier
Performer(s): Michel Rivard



C'est Noël car il neige dans la tête
Partout, partout les flocons sont réunis
C'est Noël et pour pas que tu t'embêtes
Voici pour toi ce joli rubis

À minuit nous irons à la messe d'minuit
Pour prier Jésus notre seul n'ami
Et après nous irons chez mon oncle René
Qui paraît qui fait du maudit bon pâté

C'est Noël car il neige dans mon coeur
Les flocons grondent de bonheur
Les sapins entonnent les clameurs
Car dans la crèche ronronne le sauveur

Et après pour digérer le réveillon
Dans le boggey nous te blottirerons
Comme le boeuf dans la crèche du divin poupon
Je soufflerai à travers ton manchon

C'est Noël car il neige sur ma foi
Oui je crois qu'il mourira en croix
C'est Noël et j'espère qu'à minuit
Oh ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie
Oui ma chérie, je serai ton seul messie

Merci beaucoup!

It's A Long Road


It's A Long Road
Composer(s): Jerry Goldsmith; Hal Shaper
Performer(s): Dan Hill; Tony Anderson



It's a long road
When you're on your own
And it hurts when
They tear your dreams apart
And every new town
Just seems to bring you down
Trying to find peace of mind
Can break your heart
It's a real war
Right outside your front door I tell ya
Out where they'll kill ya
You could use a friend
Where the road is
That's the place for me
Where I'm me in my own space
Where I'm free that's the place
I wanna be
'Cause the road is long yeah
Each step is only the beginning
No breaks just heartaches
Oh man is anybody winning
It's a long road
And it's hard as hell
Tell me what do you do
To survive
When they draw first blood
That's just the start of it
Day and night you gotta fight
To keep alive
It's a long road ...

Nuit de clarté
Nuit où l'on donne
Nuit pour s'aimer

D'un nouveau né
Des belles dames

De justice et de bien
Pourquoi faut-il encore
Que je sois loin des miens
Noël du monde
Je viens vers toi
La route est longue
