Pretty Polly Perkins Of Paddington Green
Pretty Polly Perkins Of Paddington Green
Composer(s): Harry Clifton
Performer(s): Harry Clifton
I am a broken-hearted milkman, in grief I'm arrayed
Through keeping of the company of a young servant maid
Who lived on board and wages, the house to keep clean
In a gentleman's family near Paddington Green
She was as beautiful as a butterfly and proud as a Queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
She'd an ankle like an antelope and a step like a deer
A voice like a blackbird, so mellow and clear
Her hair hung in ringlets so beautiful and long
I thought that she loved me but I found I was wrong
She was as beautiful as a butterfly and proud as a Queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
When I'd rattle in the morning and cry "Milk below"
At the sound of my milk cans her face she did show
With a smile upon her countenance and a laugh in her eye
If I'd thought that she loved me I'd have laid down to die
She was as beautiful as a butterfly and proud as a Queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
When I asked her to marry me, she said "Oh what stuff"
And told me to drop it, for she'd had quite enough
Of my nonsense... At the same time, I'd been very kind
But to marry a milkman she didn't feel inclined
She was as beautiful as a butterfly and proud as a Queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
"The man that has me must have silver and gold
A chariot to ride in and be handsome and bold
His hair must be curly as any watch-spring,
And his whiskers as big as a brush for clothing"
She was as beautiful as a butterfly and proud as a Queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
The words that she uttered went straight through my heart
I sobbed and I sighed, and I straight did depart
With a tear on my eyelid as big as a bean
I bid farewell to Polly and to Paddington Green
She was as beautiful as a butterfly and proud as a Queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green
In six months she married, this hard-hearted girl
But it was not a Wi-count, and it was not a Nearl
It was not a Baronite, but a shade or two wuss
It was a bow-legged conductor of a tuppenny bus
She was as beautiful as a butterfly and proud as a Queen
Was pretty little Polly Perkins of Paddington Green

Soft-Sell Conclusion
Soft-Sell Conclusion
Composer(s): Frank Zappa
Performer(s): The Mothers of Invention
A lot of people don't bother about their friends in the vegetable kingdom
They think: Oh, ah, what can I say?
What can a person like myself say to a vegetable?
But the answer is simple, my friends
Just call, and tell them how you feel about muffins...pumpkins...wax paper...
Caledonia, Mahoganies, elbows ...green things in general...
and soon, a new rapport...you and your new little green and yellow buddies, grooving together...
Oh, no! Maintaining your coolness together!
Worshipping together in the church of your choice...(only in America...)
Call any vegetable
Call it by name
Aw, you gotta call one today
When you get off the train
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Wow! That the vegetable will *Respond* to you
Oh, no! Can you see them responding?
The pumpkin is breathing hard...h-h-h-h
H-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h - H - Hhhhhhhhhhhh!
(What a pumpkin!)

Pretty Polly
Pretty Polly
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Judy Collins
“Polly, Pretty Polly, come go long with me
Polly, Pretty Polly, come go long with me
Before we get married, some pleasure to see”
She jumped up behind him and away they did ride
She jumped up behind him, away they did go
Over the mountains, and valleys so low
“Oh Willie, oh Willie, I’m a feared for my life
Oh Willie, oh Willie, I’m a feared for my life
I’m afraid you mean to murder me, and leave me behind..”
“Pretty Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed about right
Polly, Pretty Polly, you guessed about right
I’ve been diggin’ your grave, for the best part of last night”
She knelt down before him, pleading for her life
She knelt down before him, pleading for her life
“Let me be a single girl, if I can't be your wife..”
He stabbed her to the heart, and her heart blood did flow
He stabbed her to the heart, and her heart blood did flow
And into the grave, Pretty Polly did go
He through a little dirt on her and started for home
He through a little dirt over her and started for home
Leaving nobody there, but the wild birds to moan..
A debt to the devil, Willie must pay
A debt to the devil, Willie must pay
For killing Pretty Polly
And running, and running, and running, and running away

Dag Efter Dag
Composer(s): Monica Forsberg - Lasse Holm
First performance by: Chips - 1982
Nu är det nå't stort på gång
Ja, snart ska nånting hända
Ingenting kan ändra det
Och nu är det för sent att vända
Lika bra att det är sagt
För du har ändå märkt det
Hur som helst, så känns det helt okej
Det är nånting som jag vill säga dig
Dag efter dag
Gång på gång var jag på väg
Dag efter dag
Gång på gång, tog steg för steg
Men nu var det nå't som sa mig
Whoa, whoa, whoa, vill ha dig
Så ska det va
Du och jag
Dag efter dag
Satsar allt på samma kort
Har inget att förlora
Säger vad jag känner nu
Och inga ord kan bli för stora
Sen den dag jag såg dig här
Förstod jag vad jag saknat
Hör nu på, ja lyssna nu på mig
Det är nånting som jag vill säga dig
Dag efter dag
Gång på gång var jag på väg
Dag efter dag
Gång på gång, tog steg för steg
Men nu var det nå't som sa mig
Whoa, whoa, whoa, vill ha dig
Så ska det va
Du och jag
Dag efter dag
Jag hörde nånting inom mig
Whoa, whoa, whoa, vill ha dig
Så ska det va
Du och jag
Dag efter dag
Du och jag
Dag efter dag
Dag efter dag

Pretty Paper
Pretty Paper
Composer(s): Willie Nelson
First release by: Roy Orbison - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists
(The pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue)
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write “I love you”
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won’t pass him by
Should you stop?, better not, much too busy
You’re in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write “I love you”
Pretty paper, pretty ribbons of blue

Pretty Mary
Pretty Mary
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Jimmie Driftwood
At the foot of yonder mountain
There runs a clear stream
At the foot of yonder mountain
There lives a fair queen
She's handsome, she's proper
And her ways are complete
And I ask no better pastime
Than to kneel at her feet
Her father don't like me
And I understand
He's promised Lord Randall
Her lily white hand
Lord Randall has silver
Lord Randall has gold
But she'd rather shiver
With me in the cold
Pretty Mary, pretty Mary
I'd give all I own
If I had pretty Mary
In the moonlight alone
Her father declares
I shall see her no more
Her mother forbids me
To knock on her door
They've locked her in a strong room
Where I've never been
And only Lord Randall
Is allowed to go in
I wish I was an eagle
Like an eagle I'd fly
I'd fly over the ocean
And the mountains tops high
I'd fly to her window
With a wild eagle scream
And take my pretty Mary
To the land of my dreams
Pretty Mary, pretty Mary
I'd give all I own
If I had Pretty Mary
In the moonlight alone
I'd take her to a cabin
On a mountain top wild
And care for Pretty Mary
Like she was my child
I'd fight the Lord Randall
If he ever came nie
For the love of pretty Mary
I gladly would die
Pretty Mary, pretty Mary
I'd give all I own
If I had Pretty Mary
In a home of my own

Softly, softly come to me
Touch my lips so tenderly
Softly, softly turn the key

And say you'll leave me never
In the warth of your caress
My love will live for ever and ever
So softly, softly come to me
Touch my lips so tenderly
Softly, softly turn the key
And open up my heart
Softly, softly turn the key
And open up my heart

Pretty Maids All In Row
Pretty Maids All In Row
Composer(s): Joe Walsh; Joe Vitale
Performer(s): Eagles; Dark One Lite
Hi there
How are 'ya?
It's been a long time
Seems like we've come a long way
My, but we learn so slow
and heroes, they come
and they go
and leave us behind as if
we're s'pposed to know why
Why do we give up our hearts to the past?
and why must we grow up so fast?
And all you wishing well fools
with your fortunes
someone should send you a rose with
love from a friend
It's nice to here from you again
And the storybook comes to a close
Gone are the ribbons and bows
Things to remember places to go
Pretty Maids all in a Row
Oh, oh oh, oh......

Pretty Maid Milking A Cow
Pretty Maid Milking A Cow
(aka It Was On A Fine Summer's Morning)
Composer(s): Caelin Deas; Thomas Moore
It was on a fine summer's morning
When the birds sweetly tuned on each bough
I heard a fair maid sing most charming
As she sat a-milking her cow
Her voice, it was chanting melodious
She left me scarce able to go
My heart it is soothed in solace
My Cailín deas crúite na mbó
With courtesy I did salute her
"Good-morrow, most amiable maid
I'm your captive slave for the future"
"Kind sir, do not banter," she said
"I'm not such a precious rare jewel
That I should enamour you so
I am but a plain country girl"
Says Cailín deas crúite na mbó
"The Indies afford no such jewel
So precious and transparently fair
Oh! do not to my flame add fuel
But consent for to love me, my dear
Take pity and grant my desire
And leave me no longer in woe
Oh! love me or else I'll expire
Sweet Cailín deas crúite na mbó"
"Or had I the wealth of great Damer
Or all on the African shore
Or had I great Devonshire treasure
Or had I ten thousand times more
Or had I the lamp of Alladin
Or had I his genie also
I'd rather live poor on a mountain
With Cailín deas crúite na mbó"
"I beg you'll withdraw and don't tease me
I cannot consent unto thee
I like to live single and airy
Till more of the world I do see
New cares they would me embarrass
Besides, sir, my fortune is low
Until I get rich I'll not marry"
Says Cailín deas crúite na mbó
"An old maid is like an old almanack
Quite useless when once out of date
If her ware is not sold in the morning
At noon it must fall to low rate
The fragrance of May is soon over
The rose loses its beauty, you know
All bloom is consumed in October
Sweet Cailín deas crúite na mbó"
"A young maid is like a ship sailing
There's no knowing how long she may steer
For with every blast she's in danger
Oh! consent, love, and banish all care
For riches I care not a farthing
Your affection I want and no more
In comfort I'd wish to enjoy you
My Cailín deas crúite na mbó.."

Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise
Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise
Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II; Sigmund Romberg
First performance: William O'Neal - 1928
Covered by multiple other artists
Love came to me
Gay and tender
Love came to me
Sweet surrender
Love came to me
In bright romantic splendor
Fickle was she
Faithful never
Fickle was she
And clever
So will it be – forever – forever
Softly, as in a morning sunrise
The light of love comes stealing
Into a new born day -- oh
Flaming with all the glow of sunrise
A burning kiss is sealing
The vow that all betray
For the passions that thrill love
And lift you high to heaven
Are the passions that kill love
And let you fall to hell
So ends the story
Softly, as in an evening sunset
The light that gave you glory
Will take it all away

Amour On T'aime
Amour On T'aime
Composer(s): Alain Morisod - Pierre Alain
First performance by: Arlette Zola - 1982
Love we love you
On peut traverser la mer, voler autour de la Terre
Courir l'aventure, chercher de l'or
On peut quitter sa patrie
Refaire son nez et sa vie
Il nous faut l'amour d'abord
Amour, on t'aime, mieux que nous-mêmes
Mieux que l'argent, la politique et les chansons
Et quand bien même tu nous enchaînes
On a l'cœur qui bat comme les ailes d'un papillon
On peut croire au fantastique
Avoir des goûts éclectiques
Penser Rossini ou Travolta
On peut faire de la vitesse, du yoga ou du business
Sans amour, ce n'est pas ça
Amour, on t'aime, malgré nous-mêmes
Tu nous balances comme des voiliers aux quatre vents
Et quand bien même, tu tiens les rênes
On se sent libre et l'on plane comme des goélands
Amour, on t'aime, malgré nous-mêmes
Tu nous entraînes comme des poissons dans l'océan
Pourtant on aime, comme tu nous mènes
C'est un peu fou, mais on ne peut vivre autrement
Amour, on t'aime, mieux que nous-mêmes
Mieux que l'argent, la politique et les chansons
Amour, on t'aime, amour en s'aime
On a les yeux tout pleins de rire et de lampions
On a l'cœur qui bat comme les ailes d'un papillon

Softly Whispering I Love You
Softly Whispering I Love You
Composer(s): Roger Cook - Roger Greenaway
Performer(s): Paul Young
and multiple other artists
Softly, whispering I love you
echoes of your voice are calling still through my dreams
softening the chill of the breeze
Through my window
I can see the moonglow
painting silver shadows on a rose-colored land
A world that we walk hand in hand
in a day of gold
colored by the glow of new love
Oh, Woman, I can feel your warm face ever close to my lips
and the scent of you invades the cool evening air
I can close my eyes and you´re there in my arms still
and I know your soft kiss
turning into music every beat of my heart
When I hold you close to my heart
and I hear your voice
whispering I love you

Pretty Kitty Blue Eyes
Performer(s): The Merry Macs
When she walks along
On the street fellows shout
"Here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"
You can hear 'em shout
Every time she goes out
"Here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"
But she looks at no boy
She's lonely in New York
'Cause she loves a doughboy
Named Johnny O'Rourke
That's why she'll never
Hear anyone till he'll shout
"I'm here, pretty Kitty
Here pretty Kitty blue eyes"

Jos joku nakkaa ydinkakkaa kohta tänne Eurooppaamme
Niin mitä haastat, kun kaikki saastat sieltä kasvoillemme saamme
Jos joku viskaa pommin niskaan, niin sä tuskin huomaatkaan

Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa
Liian kauan haaveillen nukuit alla taivaiden
Tukkaasi raastat vaan, käy neuvottelemaan
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
Ja nuku pommiin, pommiin, nuku pommiin, niin on helpompaa
Nuku pom, nuku pom, nuku pommiin, se rauhoittaa
Nyt jengi istuu, osallistuu neuvotteluseurantaan
Tieteen aivot ja toisten raivot, punoo salajuoniaan
Jos et sä herää tällä erää, niin et herää ollenkaan
(Nuku tuuti, aa... aa... aa... tuuti)
