Sing Sang Song


Sing Sang Song
Composer(s): Les Humphries; Jimmy Bilsbury; Ralph Siegel; Kurt Hertha
First performance by: The Les Humphries Singers - 1976



Sing
sang
song . . .
Komm und sing mit mir

denn singen macht
uns alle frei.
Sing
sang
song
sing
was dir gefällt
mit uns und für
die ganze Welt
Daß Menschen sich
in Liebe finden

dafür ist Singen gut
denn nur die Musik
bringt alle
alle unter einen Hut
Wenn Lieder diese
Welt verbinden
zerstört sie keiner mehr

das ist unser Weg
komm her

wir brauchen dich so sehr
Komm und sing mit mir . . .
Was hat der Mensch
von seinem Leben

wenn er nur denkt
und zählt?
Liebe und Musik
das ist es

was so vielen leider fehlt
Verloren sind
die
schönste
Stunden

wenn nicht ein Lied erklingt

Liebe und Musik
das ist es

was uns Freunde bringt
Komm und sing mit mir ...

Pleure Pas


Pleure Pas
Composer(s): Henri Contet; Aimé Barelli
Performer(s): Edith Piaf



Pleure pas
T'as les yeux trop beaux pour ça
Pleure pas
Ou bien moi, je pleure avec toi
Pleure pas
Mon pauvre grande, j'peux pas voir ça!
Tais-toi
T'as le cœur qui m'éclate dans les bras
Mon amour! Mon amour!
Parle-moi!
Raconte-moi!
Et d'abord, à mon tour
Tu vas voir, je pleure mieux que toi!
Pleure pas
T'as les yeux trop beaux pour ça
Pleure pas
Quand tu pleures, je suis sur ma croix
Tu vois
Tu me fais mal, et t'as pas le droit
Pleure pas! Pleure pas! ...

Mon grand bonhomme, mais qu'est-ce qui se passe?
Tu n'as pas le cœur à la même place...
Je le vois bien...
Et si tu pleures, qu'est-ce que je vais faire?
T'as du chagrin
Mon Dieu! Misère!
Et je n'y peux rien
Pleure pas
T'as les yeux trop beaux pour ça
Pleure pas
Souris-moi au moins une fois... une fois...
Et après t'as tous les droits
Voilà!...
Tu as dit ce qu'il ne fallait pas...
Mon amour! Mon amour!
C'est donc ça...
Tu ne m'aimes plus
On n'avait qu'un amour
Et ton cœur l'a perdu
Pleure pas
On change tout
Ça vient, ça va...
Pleure pas
Tu verras, tout s'arrangera
Pourquoi?
Mais pourquoi?
Puisque tu vois...
Je pleure pas, moi!
Je pleure pas...

Smile As You Go By


Smile As You Go By
Composer(s): Paul Craft
Performer(s): Dickey Lee



If you can't love me till forever I'd never hold you and I won't cry
Leave me gently when it's over if you can't stop smile as you go by
I could love you like I found you with the sunshine in your eyes
I'd never wrap out the dreams around you if you can't stop smile as you go by
If it's forever let me feeling if it's not and still you're satified
Treat me gently when it's over if you can't stop smile as you go by

I could love you like I found you...

Djambo Djambo


Djambo Djambo First performance by: Peter, Sue & Marc - 1976



The birds have known the old man for many years His eyes have seen so much and look so mild He's up at four and early every morning He feeds them and feels happy like a child Once he was a clown in the arena People said the best that ever was Now they call him good old Djambo Djambo But in his dreams, he still hears the applause Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo It was you who had us laughing - you're the one And sometimes you can see him on the sidewalk With little boys and girls around his feets When Djambo Djambo plays his barrel organ Children call it 'circus in the streets' Suddenly his eyes reflect emotion In Djambo's mind, the limelight shines again He's back on stage and all the kids are laughing Just as if the show would never end Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo It was you who had us laughing - you're the one Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo Don't be sad, for you know that the show must go on Hey hey hey... hey hey hey hey... Djambo Djambo It was you who had us laughing - you're the one It was you who had us laughing - you're the one

Pleasure Stole The Night


Pleasure Stole The Night
Composer(s): Steve Howe
Performer(s): Steve Howe



Lord, help us do well
All that we have to do
Feet on the ground, heads in the clouds
Live a life that's free and easy
Pall and good
Show us the trend

There came a time, "No more," we said

"To leave it in their hands divine"
Show us the trend

Set out sails, burnt our boats
Independence ruled the day
While pleasure stole the night

Epochs past, lives were spent
Until a new band came
Did not intend to spend
Cease from your haste, they said

Leave time to repeat
Your aims, they are misplaced
You don't have to race, they cried

Oh Lord, help us do
All we have to do

"With negligent regret
The world sped on"

Smile A Little Smile For Me


Smile A Little Smile For Me
Composer(s): Geoff Stephens; Tony Macaulay
The Flying Machine



You really should accept this time he's gone for good
He'll never come back now even though he said he would
So, darling, dry your eyes
So many other guys
Would give the world, I'm sure, to wear the shoes he wore

Oh, come on Smile A Little Smile For Me, Rose Marie
Where's the use in cryin'
In a little while you'll see, Rose Marie
You must keep on tryin'

I guess you're lonely now, love's coming to an end
But, darling, only now are you free to start again
Lift up your pretty chin, don't let those tears begin
You're a big girl now, and you'll pull through somehow

Oh, come on
Smile a little smile ...........

I know that he hurt you bad
I know, darling, don't be sad
And Smile A Little Smile For Me
Rose Marie....Rose Marie

Please, Mrs. Henry


Please, Mrs. Henry
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan;
and various other artists



Well, I've already had two beers
I'm ready for the broom
Please, Missus Henry, won't you
Take me to my room?
I'm a good old boy
But I've been sniffin' too many eggs
Talkin' to too many people
Drinkin' too many kegs
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry
Please
Please, Missus Henry, please
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime

Well, I'm groanin' in a hallway
Pretty soon I'll be mad
Please, Missus Henry, won't you
Take me to your dad?
I can drink like a fish
I can crawl like a snake
I can bite like a turkey
I can slam like a drake
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry
Please
Please, Missus Henry, please
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime

Now, don't crowd me, lady
Or I'll fill up your shoe
I'm a sweet bourbon daddy
And tonight I am blue
I'm a thousand years old
And I'm a generous bomb
I'm T-boned and punctured
But I'm known to be calm
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry
Please
Please, Missus Henry, please
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime
Now, I'm startin' to drain
My stool's gonna squeak
If I walk too much farther
My crane's gonna leak
Look, Missus Henry
There's only so much I can do
Why don't you look my way
And pump me a few?
Please, Missus Henry, Missus Henry
Please
Please, Missus Henry, please
I'm down on my knees
And I ain't got a dime

Smile (Pussycat)


Smile
Composer(s): W. Theunissen
Performer(s): Pussycat



There were days I couldn't weep, nights I couldn't sleep
An' everything I did just turned out wrong
Till there was you to dry my tears, whisper love words in my ears
And this is why I'm glad you came along

Now there's a smile to cheer me up when I'm lonely
That I can call whenever I'm feeling down
Smile and you know that I'm only
Longin' for the minute you'll be around

Help me 'cause I'm tryin' to get over
The way I thought of love many times before
If ever you should go away, an' nobody else could be near
There's always a smile to remember that you were here

If I could fly away to a bright blue summer day
Trying to share my love with you for evermore
Darling, you make my life complete, you're everything I need
I'll never be the same I was before

(Now there's a smile) There's a smile to cheer me up
(To cheer me up when I'm lonely) When I'm lonely
That I can call whenever I'm feelin' down
Smile your smile and Darlin' you know
That I'm only longin' for the minute you'll be around

Help me 'cause I'm tryin' to get over
The way I thought of love many times before
If ever you should go away, an' nobody else could be near
There's always a smile to remember that you were here

There's always a smile to remember that you were here

There's always a smile to remember that you were here

Smile (Alfred Newman)


Smile
Composer(s): Charlie Chaplin

Covered by multiple other artists

Titles In Other Languages:
1955 - Ton Sourire Est Dans Mon Cœur
1983 - Femme
2008 - Se Mai Ti Parlassero Di Me



Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through for you

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Please Tell Me Why


Please Tell Me Why
Composer(s): Dave Clark; Mike Smith
Performer(s): The Dave Clark Five; The Gants



I don't know why she won't love me
Lord, please tell me why
Maybe it's that she don't love me
Don't count on it please, she's shy

If she's shy then I'll understand
I'll make the first move and hold her hand
But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad
La-da-da-da-da

I've been tryin' oh so hard
But she don't seem to notice
I sit next to her in class
But she can't see my motive

Do you think she has a boy
If she has then I'm done
'Cause if he catches me with her
I think I'll have to run

If she's passive she'll understand
I'll value my love but not in her hands
But if I'm wrong then I'll be mad
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da

Ton Sourire Est Dans Mon Coeur


Ton Sourire Est Dans Mon Coeur - 1955 (aka Femme - 1983)
(Adapted from: Smile - 1936)
(Italian Version: Se Mai Ti Parlassero Di Me - 2008)
Composer(s): Charlie Chaplin; Henri Contet
Performer(s): Jacqueline François - 1955



J'ai ton sourire dans mon coeur
C'est ma petite fleur de bonheur
Quand tu souris, j'ai le ciel dans ma vie
Ton sourire c'est l'étoile du matin
C'est mon ami, mon copain
Et je lui dis cent fois merci, merci

Quand une rose fleurit
C'est qu'en passant tu souris
Tu es soleil et l'eau vive et le miel
Souris-moi, mon amour, souris-moi
Tout s'illumine par toi
Ma route est bleue sous le ciel gris
Quand tu souris

J'ai ton sourire dans mon coeur
C'est ma petite fleur de bonheur
Ma fleur d'amour, ma cocarde
Un beau jour tu souris et la vie te répond
Tout s'éparpille en chansons
Je les écoute et je te dis
Merci, merci

Please Stay


Please Stay
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard; Burt Bacharach
Performer(s): The Drifters



Don't go (Please stay)
Don't go (Please stay)

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms
Would you walk out the door like you did once before?
Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

Don't go (Please stay)
Don't go

If I called out your name like a prayer in the night
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I-I, I love you so-o, would you still turn and go?
Or would this time be different in some wa-a-ay?

Don't go (Please stay)
(Please stay)

You took me away from the rest of the world
When you taught me to love you like this
Now I hang by a thread in the canyon of doom
But I still can be saved ... by your kiss

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my ar-arms
Would you walk out the door like you did once before?
Or would this time be different, would you sta-a-ay?

(Don't go)
(Please stay)
(Don't go)
(Please stay)
(Don't go)
(Please sta-ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay) (ay-ay-ay-ay)

First performance by: Wess & Dori Ghezzi - 1975



(lei)
da un po' di settimane in qua
mi sento un'altra donna gia'
che vada tutto a rotoli

(insieme)
ora ora ora

(lui)
accanto a te ci sono io
amore sono tutto tuo
mi sembra quasi un secolo

(insieme)
quando far l'amore
era baciarsi al cinema
era la mia domenica
era trovare un angolo nascosto
era era
era arrossire in pubblico
era parlarsi in codice
era rientrare prima della sera
era

(lei)
le storie che inventavo ai miei
le amiche conosciute mai
la posta tra la biancheria

(insieme)
era ora ora

(lui)
ora sfido il mondo mio
un amore quando e mio e mio
e sembra quasi un secolo

(insieme)
quando far l'amore
era baciarsi al cinema
era la mia domenica
era trovare un angolo nascosto

era arrossire in pubblico
era parlarsi in codice
era rientrare prima della sera

na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na
era rientrare prima della sera

Please Send Me Someone To Love


Please Send Me Someone To Love
Composer(s): Percy Mayfield
Performer(s): Percy Mayfield;
and various other artists



Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Show all the world how to get along
Peace will enter when hate is gone
But, if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

I lay awake night and ponder world troubles
My answer is always the same
That unless men put an end to all of this
Hate will put the world in a flame, (oh) what a shame
Just because I'm in misery
I'm not begging for no sympathy
But if it's not asking too much
Just send me someone to love

Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not asking too much
Please send me someone to love

Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Learn to love me or leave me, either one you wanna do
Because strange things are happenin', babe, an' somethin' might happen to you

If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
If you know you don't love me, why don't you let me be?
Because it's better to be without you, then to live on in misery

Hey!

Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
Midnight find me cryin', daylight find me cryin', too
You better change your ways pretty baby or somethin' might happen to you

Please Search The Book Again


Please Search The Book Again
Composer(s): Jerry Goff
Performer(s): Greg Watson



I dreamed that I had died and gone to heaven
I stood just outside the eastern gate
The Man from within said, "Have you been born again
And is your name written in the Book of Life?"

Chorus:
Please search the book again; I thought my name was there!
I went to church on Sunday, tho' I never knelt in prayer
Please search the book again; it's too late now, I know
Please search the book again before you make me go!

I told Him all the deeds that I had done
I told Him all the trophies I had won
But the Man said to me, "Have you been set free
And is your name written in the Book of Life?"

Chorus

And then He turned and left me standing there
I knew it was too late now for prayer
Oh, my sinner friend, if you want to make it in
Your name must be in the Book of Life

Chorus

Jennie, Jennie (English Version)


Jennie, Jennie
Composer(s): Lars Berghagen
First performance by: Lars Berghagen - 1975



Jennie, Jennie
I know that tonight you're alone in your room with a note in your hand
In your dreams you're regretting, but never forgetting
That often, you doubt where you stand

Your phonograph spins out a tune, you see pictures in your memory
I know that you're crying, but there's no denying
That time has a different melody

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now

You long for the world that you loved and you want to be there once again
But your diary's confessions are like signs that the ocean
Erased forever from the sand

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - you must change your tune somehow
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - live your life and live it now

Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - can't you see the world is yours?
Jennie, Jennie, Jennie, Jennie - life has still so much in store to give you
