Fool, Fool, Fool (Webb Pierce)


Fool, Fool, Fool
Composer(s): Max Powell; Wayne Walker
Performer(s): Webb Pierce



(Fool fool fool)
Fool fool fool
you know that it's wrong
but you keep hanging on the game
Fool fool fool
I know it won't be long
Till you find out she's gone
And you're lonely again
This time be smart
And don't leave with your heart
The way you always do
Listen to me and this time you won't be
A fool fool fool

Fool fool fool fool fool fool
This time be smart...

Fool fool fool fool fool fool
Listen to me and this time you won't be
A fool fool fool

Zion's Daughter


Zion's Daughter
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Boney M.



Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Now the world is waiting, People want to hear
what in Bethlehem had happened, that have brought the
Saviour near
Now high hope starts rising for another day
With eternal love and justice finally on the way

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

That's the way it happened many years ago,
with the sky above the shining in a wonderous stroll

Now the world is waiting, People want to hear
what in Bethlehem had happened, that all will say you're near

Zion's daughter, now your heart is full of joy
In a cradle in the manger lies the Holy Boy

Zion's daughter, with your sweet angelic smile
Holding in your arms the Christ Child, resting for awhile

Zion's daughter...

Si Me Voy Antes Que Vos


Si Me Voy Antes Que Vos
Composer(s): Jaime Roos
Performer(s): Jaime Roos



Si me voy antes que vos
si te dejo en estas tierras
no te asustes de la noche
que en la noche vivo yo

Si me voy antes que vos
si es así que está dispuesto
quiero que tus noticias
hablen del aire y del sol

Quiero que siempre recuerdes
lo que dijimos un día
que cada vez que te ríes
río contigo mi amor

Y no te olvides de algo
que se adivina en la vida
y es que la vida misma
es un milagro de amor

Si me voy antes que vos
y visito tu silencio
no es para que estés triste
ni para ver tu dolor

Quiero decirte mi amor
en estas torpes palabras
que cada vez que llores
lo sabrá mi corazón

Y no nos encontraremos
pues siempre estuve a tu lado
hacia dónde y hasta cuándo
esas son cosas de Dios

Y no nos encontraremos
pues siempre estuve a tu lado
siempre aunque me vaya antes
es un milagro de amor

'Zat You, Santa Claus?


'Zat You, Santa Claus?
Composer(s): James Fox
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong;
and various other artists



'Zat You, Santa Claus?

Gifts I'm preparing for some Christmas sharing
But I pause because
Hanging my stocking I can hear a knocking
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Sure is dark out, ain't the slightest spark out
'Pon my slackened jaw
Who's there? Who is it stopping for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Are you bringing a present for me
Something pleasantly pleasant for me
That is just what I've been waiting for
Would you mind slipping it under the door?

Cold winds are howling, or could that be growling
My legs feel like straws
My my oh me my, kindly would you reply
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Hanging the stocking, I can hear a knocking
'Zat you, Santa Claus?
I say, who's there, who is it, are you stopping for a visit
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Oh there, Santa, you gave me a scare
Now stop teasing cause I know you're there
We don't believe in no goblins today
But I can't explain why I'm shaking that way

Bet I can see ol' Santa in the keyhole
I'll get to the cause
One peek and I'll try there, oh-oh, there's an eye there
'Zat you, Santa Claus?

Please, please, pity my knees
Say that's you, Santa Claus!

From Lover To Loser


From Lover To Loser
Walter Kent, Harry Warren
Performer(s): Dean Martin



(From lovers to losers, from lovers to losers)

From lovers to losers that's me that's me
For your lips aren't willing like they used to be
You once were so hungry for my embrace
Now goodbye is written all over your face

I'm fallin' from heaven for I know we're gonna part
The fall may not kill me but it's bound to break my heart
Yes, lovers to losers you made that clear
I walked in a laughing but I'm leaving with tears

I'm fallin' from heaven for I know we're gonna part
The fall may not kill me but it's bound to break my heart
Yes, lovers to losers you made that clear
I walked in a laughing but I'm leaving with tears...

You're My Christmas Present


You're My Christmas Present
Composer(s): Jimmy Beaumont; Joe Rock
Performer(s): Jimmy Beaumont & The Skyliners



Ah-ah-ah
The tree is all trimmed now
The fireplace is aglow
And outside quiet streets
Are all covered with snow
So darling let me tell you
On this day of days
Baby, you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past, my Christmas always

In the night, church bells ring
Their message, a cheer
And somewhere canvassing
Soon Santa will be here
And this I swear as into
Your warm eyes I gaze
Baby you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past, my Christmas always

So on this silent night
Let me hold you tight
And make you know just how good love can be
There's no gift of hope
And no treasure untold
That's as precious as you are to me

The stars twinkle on high
Our world is so fine
And I wish you Merry Christmas
And as you pour the wine
For you, this toast my darling
As my glass I raise
Baby you're my Christmas present
My Christmas past, my Christmas always
You're my Christmas always

Si Maman Si


Si Maman Si
Composer(s): Michell Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Tous mes amis sont partis
Mon cœur a déménagé
Mes vacances c'est toujours Paris
Mes projets c'est continuer
Mes amours c'est inventer

Si, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi

Et le temps défile comme un train
Et moi je suis à la fenêtre
Je suis si peu habile que demain
Le bonheur passera peut-être
Sans que je sache le reconnaître

Si, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi

Mon cœur est confortable, bien au chaud
Et je lasse passer le vent
Mes envies s'éteignent, je leur tourne le dos
Et je m'endors doucement
Sans chaos ni sentiment

Si, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi

Si, maman, si
Si, maman, si
Maman, si tu voyais ma vie
Je pleure comme je ris
Si, maman, si
Mais mon avenir reste gris
Et mon cœur aussi

You’re all I want for Christmas

Girls, Don't Refuse To Kiss A Soldier


Girls, Don't Refuse To Kiss A Soldier
Composer(s): Karl Davis
Performer(s): Karl & Harty



Oh girls, don't refuse to kiss a soldier
For you know that he is fightin' for your peace
And he is your Uncle Sammy's nephew
While you are your Uncle Sammy's niece

Oh girls, don't refuse to kiss a soldier
Or a sailor or a big ol' tough marine
For they'll show the Japs and old man Hitler
The toughest bunch that they have ever seen

Oh, tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are marchin'
Marchin', marchin', marchin' off to war
And as you watch them go, you know that many
Will never see you pretty girls anymore

Oh girls, won't you let him smell your powder
And lay your little head upon his arm
For the powder that he smells across the ocean
Is the kind that does a fellah lots of harm

I didn't write this little song for money
Oh, money isn't what I wrote it for
I wrote it when I found that I was drafted
I wrote it 'cause I'm goin' off to war

Oh girls, don't refuse to kiss a soldier
For you know that he is fightin' for your peace
And he is your Uncle Sammy's nephew
While you are your Uncle Sammy's niece

You Make It Feel Like Christmas


You Make It Feel Like Christmas
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Little River Band



Look at us now, part of it all
In spite of it all, we're still around
Lovers in love, just like we were
Being apart's a lonely sound
When people ask how we stay together
I say you never let me down
And you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Look at the sun shining on me
Nowhere could be a better place
Lovers in love, that's what we are
I reach for that star out there in space
'Cause you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Sleepy we are, but happy together
Sounds of forever greet the day
So wake up the kids, put on some tea
Light up the tree. It's Christmas day
Yeah, you make it feel like Christmas
Even when things go wrong
I hear the sound of Christmas in your song
All year long
Light up the tree, it's Christmas time

Si L'on Pouvait Vraiment Parler


Si L'on Pouvait Vraiment Parler
Composer(s): Michel Berger
Performer(s): France Gall



Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Je te décrirais mes poupées
Qui ne sont plus que des chiffons
Et je me souviens de leur nom
Et les secrets qu'elles racontaient

Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Je te décrirais la maison
Où mon père m'a embrassée
Peut-être plus que de raison
Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler

Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler

Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Je te parlerais des miroirs
Qui renvoyaient mes cheveux blonds
Qui me faisait m'apercevoir
De ce que voulaient les garçons

Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Je te dirais comment je l'ai rencontré
Comment j'ai changé de famille
Tout en restant petite fille
Au fond rien n'a vraiment changé

Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler

Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Je te dirais que je n'ai jamais pleuré
Sauf quand je suis très énervée
Et qu'il ne sait pas dire qu'il m'aime
Ce n'serais pas un vrai problème

Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Je dirais que la vie s'est elle-même chargée
De me fabriquer un bonheur
Dont je ne sais pas profiter
Et que mes rêves me font peur

Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler
Si l'on pouvait vraiment parler

Et je te demanderais de m'emmener
De tout comprendre sans me parler

You ... You


You ... You
Composer(s): Leslie Bricusse
Performer(s): George Asprey



You...you were new to me
You...you were spring
You...you were true to me
You...you were everything

You...you were good for me
You were my day
Did what you could for me
I let you go away

And now I can see
Now you're a dream gone by
Oh how could there be
Such a fool as I?

I who must travel on
What hope for me?
Dream where my past has gone
Live with the memory

You...my only hope
You ...my only love
You...you...you

Givin' Out Of Givin' In


Givin' Out Of Givin' In
Composer(s): Ben Peters
Performer(s): Skeeter Davis



Each time that you come dragging in at two or three o'clock
You promise you won't stay out late again
And every time I take you back but now that's gonna stop
'Cause baby I'm giving out of giving in

There's lipstick on your shirt again and I know it ain't mine
Don't try to tell me you've been out with friends
The last time I believed you when you handed me that line
But baby I'm giving out of giving in I'm giving out of giving in

I'm tired of playing games where you're the only one who wins
I've given into you so much the givings almost gone
What happens in the future all depends
You may come walking in one night and find yourself alone
'Cause baby, I'm giving out of giving in

Yeah, I'm giving out of giving in
I'm tired of playing games where you're the only one who wins
I've given into you so much the givings almost gone
What happens in the future all depends
You may come walking in one night and find yourself alone
'Cause baby, I'm giving out of giving in

Yeah baby, I'm giving out of giving in...

Yesterday's Christmas


Yesterday's Christmas
Composer(s): Bobby Sherman
Performer(s): Bobby Sherman



I can remember the Christmases I've seen
By the things that most people know
With fresh pine tree smells, songs like 'Jingle Bells'
Going for sleigh rides in the snow

The streets of the city became a crystal charm
And the dime store Santa Claus appeared
And to the children's delight at his upcoming flight
The World waited as the hour drew near

Then the day would arrive, much too early for most
And the spirit of giving ran high
And the new train would roar on the living room floor
And the air would fill with hot pumpkin pie

I used to know my Christmases this way
I am not sad, but those times are now through
Because Christmas this time has been made to be mine
Because Christmas this year I'll be with you

Si El Amor Se Acaba Me Voy


Si El Amor Se Acaba Me Voy
(French Version: Quand Je N'aime Plus Je M'en Vais)
Composer(s): Henri Belolo; C. Cantelis; A. Marco
Performer(s): Dalida



La rutina no llegará jamás a invadir nuestro amor
Y si ves que ya no estoy aquí, deja pues de pensar en mí
No te empeñes en llorar y verás que muy pronto me olvidarás
Yo soy así
Oh ooooooh, así

Si el amor se acaba me voy
No vale la pena me voy
Si el amor se va me voy con él
Odio las mentiras me voy
Todo se termina siempre
Siempre, siempre digo la verdad

Imagina un aeropuerto espacial y una nave que despega
Nadie sabe cuando volverá quizá ya nunca más

Es imposible saber nadie puede alcanzarla en la eternidad
Yo soy así
Oh ooooooh, así

Si el amor se acaba me voy
No vale la pena me voy
Si el amor se va me voy con él

Odio las mentiras, me voy
Todo se termina siempre
Siempre, siempre digo la verdad

Si el amor se acaba me voy
No vale la pena me voy
Si el amor se va me voy con él

Odio las mentiras, me voy
Todo se termina siempre
Siempre, siempre digo la verdad

Si el amor se acaba me voy
No vale la pena me voy
Si el amor se va me voy con él

He Had Refinement


He Had Refinement
Composer(s): Arthur Schwartz; Dorothy Fields
Performer(s): Shirley Booth
and multiple other artists



If I ever seen a Prince, my Harry was him
Always smelled from peppermints, his person was trim
His voice was passionate, soulful his face was
He never took no liberties, he knew what his place was

He'd say, "Pardon my glove", politely when he shook my hand
And he'd pass me the evenin' paper after his soup got fanned
He only used four-letter words I didn't understand
He had refinement

He would never sit down to the table, but what his shirt was on
Or come out of the bathroom drippin' like a dyin' swan
Or call a visitor a slob until the slob had gone
He had refinement.

One time he said
"May I suggest you call a lady's chest a chest
instead of her points of interest"
Dainty....ain't he?

He was shy and awful modest, 'cause he was so high bred
When the wind blew up my bloomers, did his face get red
He undressed with all the lights off....until we was wed
He had refinement.

He would walk next to the gutter, so I shouldn't get hit
With a pillow he'd kill mosquitoes, so I shouldn't get bit
Only certain kind exertions for me he'd permit
He had refinement

In the water at Coney Island was our first embrace
When my water wings flew off and hit 'im in the face
He introduced himself before he put 'em back in place
He had refinement.

At Luna Park all night we sat
Our food got cold, our beer got flat
I saw what he was driving at
I should've forbid it....but I did it

He had such respect and feelin's all our married life
Just the thought that he might hurt me cut 'im like a knife
And so he never told me that he had another wife
He had refinement

Refinement!
A gentleman to his fingernails was he!

Si El Amor Alguna Vez


Si El Amor Alguna Vez
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Si el amor alguna vez
fuera algo más
que dos espejos frente a frente
o el miedo al tiempo que no vuelve
que se escapa, victorioso
sin pedir perdón
no sería
el ave que voló
Si el amor alguna vez
fuera algo más
que encuentro de almas solitarias
en el rechazo de ser nada
que no es nada sino toda
la desolación
no sería
la más pesada de las cadenas
el pozo seco de la tristeza
ni la herida
que nunca cicatriza
Si el amor alguna vez
fuera algo más
que la necesidad urgente
de que los cuerpos se alimenten
con los cuerpos perpetuando
su contradicción
no sería
sustento del dolor
Si el amor alguna vez
fuera algo más
que dos verdugos inconscientes
jugando al juego de la muerte
con la vida que se entrega
a la inmolación
no sería
la más pesada de las cadenas
el pozo seco de la tristeza
ni la herida
que nunca cicatriza

Si Les Femmes


Si Les Femmes
Composer(s): Pierre Rapsat
Performer(s): Pierre Rapsat



Aux côtés d'Eve
Je m'imagine
Perdu dans mes rêves
Si les femmes
Changeaient le monde...
De nouvelles valeurs
Avant que nos mômes
Ne subissent nos erreurs
Si les femmes changeaient le monde...

Qu'elles viennent et nous délivrent
Un peu d'chaleur humaine
De la douceur de vivre
Qu'elles viennent et nous délivrent
De nos moments de haine
De toutes nos dérives

Ecoutez l'histoire
De celles qui donnent
La vie et l'espoir
Si les femmes changeaient le monde...
Elles ont du courage
Moins égoïstes et souvent plus sages
Si les femmes, changeaient le monde...

Qu'elles viennent et nous délivrent
Un peu d'chaleur humaine
De la douceur de vivre
Qu'elles viennent et nous délivrent
De nos moments de haine
De toutes nos dérives

La violence, c'est tellement banal
Et l'argent donne tout les droits
L'indifférence nous laisse les mains sales
Qui de nous a voulu cela
C'est pas vous
C'est pas moi
C'est pas moi

Révolution douce
C'est l'idéal féminin que j'épouse
Si les femmes, changeaient le monde...
Aux côtés d'Eve
Partir en cavale
Poursuivi par ce rêve

Si les femmes, changeaient le monde...
Si les femmes, changeaient le monde...
