Sonho De Um Carnaval


Sonho De Um Carnaval
Composer(s): Chico Buarque
Performer(s): Chico Buarque
and multiple other artists



Carnaval, desengano
Deixei a dor em casa me esperando
E brinquei e gritei e fui vestido de rei
Quarta-feira sempre desce o pano

Carnaval, desengano
Essa morena me deixou sonhando
Mão na mão, pé no chão
E hoje nem lembra não
Quarta-feira sempre desce o pano

Era uma canção, um só cordão
E uma vontade
De tomar a mão
De cada irmão pela cidade

No carnaval, esperança
Que gente longe viva na lembrança
Que gente triste possa entrar na dança
Que gente grande saiba ser criança

Put Your Cat Clothes On


Put Your Cat Clothes On
Composer(s): Carl Perkins
Performer(s): Carl Perkins



They took my blue suede shoes, down to ol' Mobile
Got to rockin' with the rhythm, run 'em over at the hill
Put you catclothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right
Yeah Kitty, put your catclothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really bop it right
Well I slicked up myself till I-I looked like a dilly
I run down town to get my female Billy
Put you cat clothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right
Yeah Kitty, put your catclothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really bop it right
Rock it!

Well my ol' gal's slow and easy, but all the hepcats know
When she gets that rockin' beat
She knocks the polish off her toes
Put you catclothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right
Yeah Kitty, put your catclothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really bop it right
Slap cat!

Well now come on cat get with it
Keep your hands off that fruitjar
Do some be-boppin' rhythm, pick your toenails up tomorrow
Put you catclothes on
'Cause tonight we're gonna really rock it right

Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey


Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey
Composer(s): Junie McCree; Albert Von Tilzer
Performer(s): Dick Haymes;
and various other artists



Night time am a-fallin', everything is still
And the moon am a shinin' from above
Cupid am a callin' every Jack and Jill
It's just about the time for making love
Someone is a-waiting all along for me
No more hesitating, I must go and see
"How dee do, Dear, it's with you dear
That I love to be"

Put your arms around me, Honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh! Oh! Won't you roll those eyes?
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a rockin' like a motor boat
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you

Music am a-playin' such a "Loving Glide"
That my feet keep a moving to and fro
And with you a-swayin', I'll be satisfied
To dance until we hear the roosters crow
I love seven 'leven, I love chicken too
Nearest thing to heaven is to be with you
For I'm spoony, moony, loony, but my love is true

Put Your Arms Around Me Honey, hold me tight
Huddle up and cuddle up with all your might
Oh! Oh! Won´t you roll those eyes
Eyes that I just idolize
When they look at me, my heart begins to float
Then it starts a rockin´ like a motorboat
Oh! Oh! I never knew any girl like you

Put Your Arms Around Her
Composer(s): Rob Morris
Performer(s): Norma Jean



Put your arms around her
That's where your love is
Don't let my broken heart stand in the way

Put your arms around her
That's where your heart is
Maybe I can get over you someday

I've tried so hard to hold you
But you slipped through my arms
So if that's the way it has to be

Put your arms around her
That's where your dreams are
And if you're happy then that's good enough for me

I've tried so hard to hold you
But you slipped through my arms
So if that's the way it has to be

Put your arms around her
That's where your dreams are
And if you're happy then that's good enough for me

Baunilha E Chocolate


Baunilha E Chocolate
First performance by: Tó Cruz - 1995



Que povo é este, teu e meu
Onde passou deitou raíz?
Mudou o mar, mudou o céu
Onde não era amanhecer
Fez do mundo o seu país

E o teu avô andou por lá
A minha avó pôs cá o pé
Nosso amor é todo mar
Tens perfume de luar
Tenho gosto de café

Amada de branca pele
És nata no meu chamá
Tem mais paladar que o mel
Casar baunilha com chocolate

Gaivota branca foi achar
Naquelas terras mais a sul
Gente e doce e musical
Que em seu canto tropical
Pôs o sonho e o mar azul

Quem temperou o nosso amor
Feito à guitarra e violão
No vai-vem da caravela
Com pimenta e com canela
Com jindo e açafrão

Amada de branca pele
És nata no meu chamá
Tem mais paladar que o mel
Casar baunilha com chocolate

Que povo é este que partiu
E foi dobrar o Bojador?
Este povo que sentiu o feitiço, o desafio
De inventar um novo amor

Das mãos unidas nasce a flor
E cada beijo sabe a paz
Quando a alma sente o amor
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor
Preto ou branco tanto faz

Quando a alma sente o amor
Tenha o corpo qualquer cor
Preto ou branco tanto faz

Put The Blame On Me


Put The Blame On Me
Composer(s): Norman Blagman; Kay Twomey; Fred Wise
Performer(s): Elvis Presley;
and various other artists



If they say we were doin' wrong
If they say we were out too long
Well, you can say
My arms were just too strong
Put the blame, put the blame on me

Felt so good when I held you tight
Couldn't stop when we kissed goodnight
So if they tell us we don't heave the right
Put the blame, put the blame on me

What I feel is deep inside
This is real and I won't hide
Go ahead, use my name
I'll be proud to take the blame

You just did what I made you do
You love me and I love you
So if the way they talk can bother you
Put the blame, put the blame on me

Songs To Aging Children Come


Songs To Aging Children Come
Composer(s): Joni Mitchell
First release by: Joni Mitchell - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists



Through the windless wells of wonder
By the throbbing light machine
In a tea leaf trance or under
Orders from the king and queen

Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

People hurry by so quickly
Don't they hear the melodies
In the chiming and the clicking
And the laughing harmonies

Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

Some come dark and strange like dying
Crows and ravens whistling
Lines of weeping, strings of crying

So much said in listening

Songs to aging children come
Aging children, I am one

Does the moon play only silver
When it strums the galaxy
Dying roses will they will their
Perfumed rhapsodies to me

Songs to aging children come
This is one

Songs Out Of Clay


Songs Out Of Clay
Composer(s): Al Stewart
Performer(s): Al Stewart



Oh I know that you are an artist she said
For you make your songs out of clay
You carry the dust on your hands and your knees
You never quite brushed it away
You were trying to chisel a perfect truth
When the instrument broke in your hand
Now you sit alone on the greenhouse roof
With your shoes full of sand.

And the golden rays of the sun
Divide in the slanting mists of the rain
And Maggie is on the road again

Put The Blame On Mame


Put The Blame On Mame
Composer(s): Allan Roberts; Doris Fisher
Performer(s): Anita Ellis;
and various other artists



When Mrs. O'Leary's cow
Kicked the lantern in Chicago town
They say that started the fire
That burned Chicago down
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame kissed a buyer from out of town
That kiss burned Chicago down
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

Remember the blizzard, back in Manhattan
In eighteen-eighty-six
They say that traffic was tied up
And folks were in a fix
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame gave a chump such an ice-cold "No"
For seven days they shovelled snow
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

When they had the earthquake in San Francisco
Back in nineteen-six
They said that Mother Nature
Was up to her old tricks
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
One night she started to shim and shake
That brought on the Frisco quake
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

They once had a shootin' up in the Klondike
When they got Dan McGrew
Folks were putting the blame on
The lady known as Lou
That's the story that went around
But here's the real low-down
Put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame
Mame did a dance called the hoochy-coo
That's the thing that slew McGrew
So you can put the blame on Mame, boys
Put the blame on Mame

Love City Groove


Love City Groove
Composer(s): Paul Hardy - Jay Williams - Tatsiana Mais - Stephen Rudden
First performance by: Love City Groove - 1995



We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin' love now, uh...

Ooh, baby, you know how I been feelin'
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe, ooh babe)
Ooh, baby, you know how I been feelin'
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe, ooh babe)
Uh...

Baby, baby, baby, you got me goin' crazy
I'm feelin' kinda high, my mind is gettin' hazy
But when I think of you, I know just what to do
You make me feel so happy when I'm feelin' blue

You're pickin' me up with a kiss, a touch o' your hand
You're all that I want, you're everything I planned
Like a fairy tale story, you're the man o' my dreams
My knight in shining armour, well, that's how it seems

You greet me in the morning with a kiss and a smile
And for the rest of the day I'm on cloud nine
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...)
It may sound like fantasy, but to me, it's real
And I could trust my emotions 'cause I know what I feel

What we have is special, and that it would last
Our hearts beaten as one, it's pumpin' blood real fast
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...)
'Cause the connection is truly from above
And I thank God

In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now

Now baby, baby, when I first saw your face
I saw you had flavour and I wanted a taste of this sweet thing
But now there's so much more
'Cause everyday I'm thinkin' about what my baby has in store

Trust and believe, day to day, you never doubt her
'Cause I used to have a dream girl, but now I found her
And she's by my side, she's my pride, my all
Ten foot tall, that's how I feel, I never fall, I never fell

Oh... what the hell, I'll admit it
Love was the target and you hit it
So as I watch you sleep in the middle of the night
You open your eyes and I know it's so right

Two hearts, two minds, two people, one love
And the way you're makin' me feel
It's like you're sent from up above
(Ooh babe, ooh babe, ooh ooh ooh babe...)
Your touch, your smell, your face, a unique breed
It's only love but it's all that I need

In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now

We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin', we're really makin'
We're really makin' love now, uh...

I'm glad that I been found, always wanted you around
Keepin' me lost for words, yeah, I know how that sounds
Now I been to many places and I seen many things
But nothin' that I know can ever make my heart sing like you do
It's like a voodoo, you know what I'm sayin'?
Baby girl, I ain't playin'
I'm glad that I'm the one to rock your world
'Cause honey - yeah...

In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now

In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now
In the mornin' when the sun shines down on your body
I know we're really makin' love now

La Voix Est Libre


La Voix Est Libre
First performance by: Frédéric Etherlinck - 1995



La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et on s'en fout
En équilibre sur les genoux
La voix est libre, libre de tout

La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et on s'en fout
Prends-toi pour cible, tiens-toi debout
La voix est libre, libre de tout

Libre de crier tes rêves
Le matin quand tu te lèves
T'inventer un face-à-face devant ta glace
Regarde-toi dans les yeux et parle avec qui tu veux
Tu t'es pas levé pour rien, c'est déjà bien

La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et on s'en fout
En équilibre sur les genoux
La voix est libre, libre de tout

Libre d'effacer l'écran
De ces images de noir et sang
Tu peux changer les couleurs qui te font peur
Quand tu descends dans la rue, si on t'a pas reconnu
T'as pas crié assez fort, essaie encore

La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et on s'en fout
En équilibre sur les genoux
La voix est libre, libre de tout

La voix est libre, libre de tout
Tout est possible et tu t'en fous
Chacun sa bible écris partout
La voix est libre, libre de tout

Put On Your Dancing Shoes


Put On Your Dancing Shoes
Composer(s): Steve Winwood; Will Jennings
Performer(s): Steve Winwood



So much going on out there, leaves us hanging in the air
And it's all that we can do to face each day and see it through
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

You can't shut your eyes to pain, faces crying in the rain
You can't keep it all inside, you need some way to let it ride
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through

Voices shouting in the street, life lived to a ragged beat
Someone's world is tumbling down, and who's the saint and where's the clown?
Life's a dance, put on your dancing shoes, take a chance

When you're all over, when you know you've done all that you can do
Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through
When time is flying, when you know there's no end to these modern blues
Put on your dancing shoes, it'll see you through

Songs Of Yesterday


Songs Of Yesterday
Composer(s): Andy Fraser - Paul Rodgers
Performer(s): Free; Humboogie



Sing me a sad song
and I'll be right on my way
a sad song like the songs of yesterday
well my father used to sing the blues
sometimes it was good
but my mother never saw the use
and she chased him for his blood
a sad song like the songs of yesterday
a sad song
and I'll be right on my way

Oh you know my father
always used to say
a bad workman blames his tools
but it seems to me
a man who uses the tools
is just a fool

sad song
and I'll be right on my way

sad song
like the songs of yesterday

Well now the streets are filled with silent cars
and all the world's a stage
but I must get to work today
today I get my wage

sad song
then I'll get on
on my way
just like a song of yesterday
listen to what I'm gonna say

Put On A Happy Face


Put On A Happy Face
Composer(s): Lee Adams; Charles Strouse
Performer(s): Tony Bennett;
and various other artists



Gray skies are gonna clear up
Put on a happy face
Brush off the clouds and cheer up
Put on a happy face
Take off the gloomy mask of tragedy
It's not your style
You'll look so good that you'll be glad
Ya' decide to smile!
Pick out a pleasant outlook
Stick out that noble chin
Wipe off that "full of doubt" look
Slap on a happy grin!
And spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face!
Put on a happy face
Put on a happy face
And if you're feeling cross and bitterish
Don't sit and whine
Think of banana split and licorice
And you'll feel fine
I knew a girl so gloomy
She'd never laugh or sing
She wouldn't listen to me
Now she's a mean old thing
So spread sunshine all over the place
Just put on a happy face
So, put on a happy face

Il Me Donne Rendez-Vous


Il Me Donne Rendez-Vous
Composer(s): Didier Barbelivien - François Bernheim
First performance by: Nathalie Santamaria - 1995



C'est trois bouquets de fleurs
À la porte de la maison
Un poème qu'il m'écrit
Comme des paroles de chanson

Sa voix au répondeur
Vers les quatre heures du matin
Qui me dit "Mon p'tit cœur
Je vous embrasse, tout va bien"

Je l'attends un peu comme le voleur
Attend son heure
J'ai idée que cet homme est un chat
Ou un charmeur

Il me donne rendez-vous
Souvent il me dit vous
Vous permettez, mam'zelle
De pendre à votre cou
Un baiser, un bijou
Quelque chose d'éternel

Il me donne rendez-vous
Alors je vous l'avoue
J'me sens pousser des ailes
Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux
De cet ange un peu fou
Qui me fait croire au ciel

Il me donne rendez-vous
Comme il donnerait sa vie
J'avais jamais dit vous
À personne avant lui

C'est deux billets d'avion
Direction les Iles Marquises
Parce que j'avais dit non
À New York et à Venise

C'est une grande limousine
Garée au bas d' l'ascenseur
Il est capable en prime
De s'déguiser en chauffeur

Il est un peu dandy, un peu voyou
Un peu dingue
Et moi j'suis comme on dit la chanteuse
De son bastringue

Il me donne rendez-vous
Souvent il me dit vous
Vous permettez, mam'zelle
De pendre à votre cou
Un baiser, un bijou
Quelque chose d'éternel

Il me donne rendez-vous
Alors je vous l'avoue
J'me sens pousser des ailes
Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux
De cet ange un peu fou
Qui me fait croire au ciel

Il me donne rendez-vous
Comme il donnerait sa vie
J'avais jamais dit vous
À personne avant lui

Il me donne rendez-vous
Souvent il me dit vous
Vous permettez, mam'zelle
De pendre à votre cou
Un baiser, un bijou
Quelque chose d'éternel

Il me donne rendez-vous
Alors je vous l'avoue
J'me sens pousser des ailes
Et l'Bon Dieu est jaloux
De cet ange un peu fou
Qui me fait croire au ciel
Qui me fait croire au ciel

Put My Little Shoes Away
Composer(s): Don Everly; Phil Everly
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers



Mother dear, come bathe my forehead
for I'm growing very weak
Mother, let one drop of water
fall upon my burning cheek

Chorus:
I'm going away to leave you, Mother darling
and remember what I say
Do this won't you please dear Mother
Put my little shoes away

Santa Claus, he brought them to me
with a lot of other things
I believe he brought an angel
with a pair of golden wings

Repeat chorus

Tell my loving little playmates
that I never more will play
Give them all my toys, but Mother
Put my little shoes away

Repeat chorus

Songbird


Songbird
Composer(s): Steve Nelson - David Wolfert
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand



Songbird sings from the heart
Each word can tear you apart
I sing you sing along
You find your life in my song
When you need the strength to carry on
You've got me to turn to
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
They've helped you be strong now
The song sets you free
But who sings for me
I'm all alone now
Who sings for songbird

Sometimes when I'm all alone
I sing my saddest song
Lonely and no one can see
This time the song is for me
I can touch your secret place inside
And still you don't know me
With the songs that I sing
And the magic they bring
You've learned to be strong now
My song sets you free
But who sings for me
I'm all alone now
Where is my songbird
Where is my songbird
Who sings his songs for me

Put Me On The Trail To Carolina


Put Me On The Trail To Carolina
Composer(s): Alton Delmore; Rabon Delmore
Performer(s): Matt Watroba;
and various other artists



I left my cabin home, started out to roam
But I didn't like it in the mountains
Thought I'd like to stay in the city gay
But it's got the best of me

Put me on the trail to Carolina
That is where I long to be
Where the mountains high reach into the sky
There my sweetheart waits for me

Hand in hand, together in the twilight
Strolling down the trail, we two
Carolina girl, sweetest in the world
Underneath the sky so blue

That old dog of mine, let me hear him whine
When he smells a possum in the mountain
Underneath the moon, let me hum a tune
Strummin' on my old guitar

Put me on the trail to Carolina
That is where I long to be
Where the mountains high reach into the sky
There my sweetheart waits for me

Hand in hand, together in the twilight
Strolling down the trail, we two
Carolina girl, sweetest in the world
Underneath the sky so blue
