You've Got That Thing
You've Got That Thing
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Leo Reisman;
and various other artists
Since first you blew in like a boisterous breeze
I often have wondered, Dear
Why gentlemen all seem to fall on their knees
The moment that you appear
Your fetching physique is hardly unique
You're mentally not so hot
You'll never win laurels because of your morals
But I'll tell you what you've got.....
You've got that thing, you've got that thing
That thing that makes birds forget to sing
Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing
You've got that charm, that subtle charm
That makes young farmers desert the farm
'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing
You've got what Adam craved when he
With love for Eve was tortured
She only had an apple tree
But you, you've got an orchard
You've got those ways, those taking ways
That make me rush off to Cartier's
For a wedding ring, you've got that thing
You've got that thing, you've got that thing
That thing that makes vines prefer to cling
Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing
You've got those looks, those fatal looks
That make book censors enjoy their books
'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing
Just what made Samson be, for years
Delilah's lord and keeper
She only had a pair of shears
But you, you've got a reaper
You've got that power, that power to grip
That makes me map out a wedding trip
For the early spring, you've got that thing
You've got that thing, you've got that thing
That thing that makes bees refuse to sting
Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing
You've got that kiss, that kiss that warms
That makes reformers reform reforms
'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing
They tell us Trojan Helen's lips
Made every man her slavey
If her face launched a thousand ships
Well, yours could launch a navy
You've got that that love, and such a lot
It makes me think you're prepared for what
Any stork might bring, you've got that thing

Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
Weaving romances, making believe they're true
Give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies...I'll be with you
Weaving romances...making believe they're true
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Ah sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on

You've Got Me Where You Want Me
You've Got Me Where You Want Me
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Harry Warner
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Louis Armstrong;
Judy Garland; Jan Howard; Johnny Mercer
You’ve got me where you want me
And I hope you’re satisfied
You’ve got me where you want me
And you hardly even tried
One single look was all I took
And then, starry-eyed
I watched my poor old heart
Go on that roller-coaster ride
I say I won’t surrender
But I know darn well I will
My hopes are pretty slender
And my chances almost nil
Why should I try to alibi
Anyone can see
You’ve got me where you want me
And it’s where I wanna be
You’ve got me where you want me
And I hope you’re satisfied
You’ve got me where you want me
And you never even tried
A single look was all it took
And then, starry-eyed
I watched my poor heart
Go on that roller-coaster ride
I say I won’t surrender
But I know darn well you will
My hopes are pretty slender
And my chances almost nil
Why should I try to alibi
When anyone can see
You’ve got me where you want me
You’ve got me where you want me
And it’s where I wanna be
And it’s where I wanna be
And it’s where I wanna be

A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste
A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Meat Loaf
If you listen, to the night
You can hear the darkness call
I can barely stand to wait
I can barely stand at all
C'mon closer to me now
It's like we're sharing the same skin
We gotta get out of this jail
We gotta let the future in
So many things in your life
That your bound to regret
Why didn't I do that?
Why didn't I do this?
So many chances you lost
That you'll never forget
Why didn't I make it?
Why didn't I take it right there?
The loneliest words you'll ever know
"if only-if only it was so"
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
"it could have been me"
"it could have been me"
The loneliest words you'll ever know
"if only-if only it was so"
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
"it could have been me"
"it could have been me"
You'll have to pay for it later
If you don't get it when it's going for free
Believe me -! believe me -!
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It's something that's always been so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
And one of these nights
You're gonna show me that you already know
There's a feast waiting for you
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!
You shouldn't tremble when we touch
There's no reason for these fears
It's a promise that was made
We've been promised this for years
I wanna show you it all
What to do and where and how!
'Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now
We'll never be as young as we are right now!
So many cries in the night
That you try to ignore
Why didn't I do this?
Why didn't I do that?
So many unanswered prayers
So many unopened doors
Why didn't I take it?
Why didn't I make it come true?
The loneliest words you'll ever know
"if only - if only it was so"
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
"it could have been me"
"it could have been me"
The loneliest words you'll ever know
"if only - if only it was so"
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
"it could have been me"
"it could have been me"
You'll have to pay for it later
If you don't get it when it's going for free!
Believe me! believe me, believe me!
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It's something that has always been so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
And one of these nights
I'm gonna show you that you already know...
There's a feast waiting for you
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than, you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!
There's a feast waiting for you
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're going to find!
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're going to find!
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're going to find!
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're going to find!
There's a feast waiting for you
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

You've Got Me For Company
You've Got Me For Company
Composer(s): Billy Preston; Bruce Fisher
Performer(s): Martha Reeves; Billy Preston
Tiny tears are gathered in the corners of your eyes
The smile upon your lips is just your heartache in disguise
But lonely you need never be if you'd only realize
You've got me for company
I suppose that no one knows the sorrow you have felt
Lost among the shuffle as the cards of fate were dealt
Like lemon drops falling on the sun, all your emptiness will melt
You've got me for company
Chorus:
Oh no, little darlin', just be yourself with me
I'm on hand to understand you (this line x2 1st time, x3 2nd time)
You've got me for company
In the mornin' when you wake up, you won't be alone
I'll wake up beside you to hold you tight & keep you warm
We can take & we can make this empty house a home
You've got me for company
(chorus)

A Kiss In The Dark
A Kiss In The Dark
Composer(s): Victor Herbert - Buddy De Sylva
Performer(s): Shirley Jones & Jack Cassidy
and multiple other artists
I recall the mad delight of a lovely dance
And a strolling through the night trembling with romance
There he told me of my charms, how could I resist
Suddenly within his arms I ws held and kissed
Oh that kiss in the dark was, to him, just a lark
But to me was a thrill supreme
Just a kiss in the dark, but it kindled the spark
The awaking of love's young dream
Just a kiss in the dark, but it kindled the spark
The awaking of love's young dream

Performer(s): Lee Wiley;
and various other artists
You’ve got me crying again
You’ve got me sighing again
What is this love all about?
I’m in, I’m out
Your kisses right from the start
Came from your lips, not your heart
You make me happy and then
Somebody new looks good to you
You’ve got me crying again
Just crying for you

A Kiss Can Change The World
A Kiss Can Change The World
Composer(s): Carl Eugster
Performer(s): Frankie Laine
(No...No...No)
(No...No...No)
(No...No...No)
When you say no to a little kiss
You may say no to a life of bliss
Remember this, my reluctant Miss
A kiss can change the world
So I say no, when if you say yes
A kiss may lead to a sweet caress
And that caress may make you confess
A kiss can change the world
Kisses bring caresses
Caresses bring romance
Romance can be the start of love
And there you've got the answer
When you're in love and the world you view
Is bright, excitin' and strangely new
So follow through and you'll see it's true
A kiss can change the world
So I say no, when if you say yes
A kiss may lead to a sweet caress
And that caress may make you confess
A kiss can change the world
Now kisses bring caresses
Caresses bring romance
Romance can be the start of love
And there you've got the answer
When you're in love and the world you view
Is bright, exciting and strangely new
So follow through, and you'll see it's true
A kiss can change the world

You got two lips that look so fine

You’ve got love - real love

you’ve got love - that is true
I want only you
You got two eyes so you can see

you’ve got me in a spin
I like the spin I’m in

First release by: Queen - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
One dream, one soul, one prize
One goal, one golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a mind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
It's a challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be will soon be
Will soon be gone
This is a kind of magic
Tere can only be one
This life that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
Magic - it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic
It's magic
It's a kind of magic

From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

We stick together and can see it through

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny

A Junkie's Lament
A Junkie's Lament
Composer(s): James Taylor
Performer(s): James Taylor
Ricky's been kicking the gong
Lickety split didn't take too long
A junkie's sick
A monkey's strong
That's what's wrong
Well, I guess he's been messing around downtown
So sad to see the man losing ground
Winding down behind closed doors
On all fours
Mama, don't you call him my name
He can't hear you anymore
And even if he seems the same to you
That's a stranger to your door
Ask him what's he come here for
Oh my God, a monkey can move a man
Send him to hell
And home again
With an empty hand in the afternoon
Shooting for the moon
It's halfway sick
And it's halfway stoned
He'd sure like to kick
But it's too far gone
They wind him down with the methadone
He's all on his own
But baby, don't you throw your love away
I hate to seem unkind
It's only that I understand the man
That the monkey can leave behind
I used to think he was a friend of mine

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, Spring, summer or fall

A Journey To A Star
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Harry Warren
Performer(s): Judy Garland
and multiple other artists
A journey to a star would not be very far
As long as I’m alone with you
Romantic as we are, a journey to a star
Could start before the dawn breaks through
You’re right beside my heart
We’re just about a kiss apart
And we could make a dream come true
A moment of your love would have the feeling of
A journey to a star with you
You’re right beside my heart
We’re just about a kiss apart
And we could make a dream come true
A moment of your love would have the feeling of
A journey to a star with you

First release by: Dick Haymes & Harry James and His Orch. - 1941
Covered by multiple other artists
I've an awful feeling that
This thought that's been a-stealing
Through my brain
Is not to be ignored
But to really tell the truth
Though I'm not a well known sleuth
I honestly believe
That you are bored
You've changed
That sparkle in your eye is gone
Your smile is just a careless yawn
You're breaking my heart
You've changed
You've changed
You're kisses now are so blasé
You're bored with me in every way
I can't understand
You've changed
You've forgotten the words 'I love you'
Each memory that we've shared
You ignore every star above you
I can't realize you've ever cared
You've changed
You're not the angel I once knew
No need to tell me that we're through
It's all over now
You've changed

Performer(s): André Bourvil
and multiple other artists
J'suis un petit gars plombier zingueur
J'fais des semaines de quarante huit heures
Et j'attends qu'les dimanches s'amènent
Pour sortir ma jolie Maimaine
Ou bien une autre ça revient au même
Mais moi j'préfère quand même Maimaine
À qui qu'un jour fougueux j'ai dit
Si qu'on allait s'promener chérie
À Joinville le Pont
Pon! Pon!
Tous deux nous irons
Ron! Ron!
Regarder guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène
Si l'cœur nous en dit
Dis dis
On pourra aussi
Si si
Se mettre à guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène
Au bord de l'eau y a les pêcheurs
Et dans la Marne y a les baigneurs
On voit des gens qui mangent des moules
Ou des frites s'ils n'aiment pas les moules
On mange avec les doigts c'est mieux
Y a qu'les belles filles qu'on mange des yeux
Sous les tonnelles on mange des glaces
Et dans la Marne on boit la tasse
À Joinville le Pont
Pon! Pon!
Tous deux nous irons
Ron! Ron!
Regarder guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène
Si l'cœur nous en dit
Dis dis
On pourra aussi
Si si
Se mettre à guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène
Et quand la nuit tombe à neuf heures
Y a pu d'pêcheurs, y a pu d'baigneurs
Y a pu d'belles filles sous les ramures
Y reste plus qu'des épluchures
Maimaine me dit j'ai mal aux pieds
Sur mon vélo j'dois la ramener
Mais dès lundi j'pense au samedi
Quand vient le samedi, moi ça me dit
À Joinville le Pont
Pon! Pon!
Tous deux nous irons
Ron! Ron!
Regarder guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène
Si l'cœur nous en dit
Dis dis
On pourra aussi
Si si
Se mettre à guincher
Chez chez chez Gégène

You've Been In Love (That Little Bit Too Long)
You've Been In Love (That Little Bit Too Long)
Performer(s): Phil Collins
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
She's getting to used to your face, getting too used to your smile
She's saying the same things every morning before you leave her
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
You'd better look out, cos he's not far behind
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
Suddenly she's trying to please you, you start to think she's acting strange
And after all these years she wears make-up in the morning
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind
You'd better look out, cos he's not far behind
Did you really believe she's doing it all for you?
Oh, can't you see, there's somebody else
You never showed it, you should have known it
You've been in love, yeah you've been in love
You've been in love, yeah you've been in love
Going round singing all those love songs, songs you haven't heard for years
You're gonna have to ask her why she's so happy
You'd better run, find out what's going through her mind.
But it may be too late, and I know why
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love and I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
You've been in love that little bit too long
You've been in love, I think that you know
You've been in love it's time to move on
You've been in love and it's starting to show
To show, show, you've been in love, oh oh
(I've got blisters on my fingers!)

Parfaitement à jeun
Vous me voyez surpris
De ne pas trouver mon lit ici
Parfaitement à jeun
Je le vois qui recule
Je le vois qui bascule aussi
Guili guili guili
Viens-là mon petit lit
Si tu ne viens pas t'a moi
Ce n'est pas moi qui irai t'à toi
Mais qui n'avance pas recule
Comme dit Monsieur Dupneu
Un mec qui articule
Et qui est chef du contentieux
Parfaitement à jeun
Je reviens d'une belle fête
J'ai enterré Huguette ce matin
Parfaitement à jeun
J'ai fait semblant d'pleurer
Pour ne pas faire rater la fête
Z'étaient deux cents noirs
Les voisins les amis
Y avait qu'moi qu'était gris
Dans cette foire
Y avait beau-maman belle-papa
Z'avez pas vu Mirza
Et puis Monsieur Dupneu
Qu'est chef du contentieux
Parfaitement à jeun
En enterrant ma femme
J'ai surtout enterré
la maitresse d'André
Je n'l'ai su que c'matin
Et par un enfant de chœur
Qui m'racontait qu'sa sœur ah ça
Il me reste deux solutions
Ou bien frapper André
Ou bien gnougnougnafié
La femme d'André
Sur son balcon
Ou bien rester chez moi
Feu-cocu mais joyeux
C'est ce que me conseille André
André André Dupneu
Qu'est mon chef du contentieux
Parfaitement à jeun
Vous me voyez surpris
De ne pas trouver mon lit
