Hula Lou
Hula Lou
Composer(s): Edward Grossmith; Ted D. Ward
I'm leaving town today I'm going far away
To that land of "Heart's Desire" Fair Hawaii
Do you wonder why I'm gay
Where somebody waits for me
And where it's sunny as can be
I know I'll never leave again
never grieve again there beside the sea
Just picture all those scenes those pretty tropic greens
where most every one adores you nothing bores you
Life is just a happy dream from the rising of the sun
Until the joyous day is done
That's what the poets rave about
Poets crave about
Golden days each one
Hula Lou yes I'm coming right back to you
My Hula Lou with a heart that is fond and true
Oh how I'm sighin' love for your undyin' love
That sweet Hawaiian love has won my heart away
Soon I'll be where that ukelele melody keeps ringing plaintively
On the shores of the Lanai
And when the stars are bright out in the pale moonlight
we'll do the Hula, Hula, Hula Lou

A Piece Of Sky
A Piece Of Sky
Composer(s): Marilyn Bergman - Alan Bergman - Michel Legrand
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
and multiple other artists
Tell me where
Where is it written
What it is I'm meant to be?
That I can't dare...
It all began the day I found
That from my window
I could only see
A piece of sky
I stepped outside and looked around
I never dreamed it was so wide
Or even half as high
The time had come
(papa, can you hear me?)
To try my wings
(papa, are you near me?)
And even thought it seemed at any moment I could fall
I felt the most
(papa, can you see me?)
Amazing things
(can you understand me?)
The things you can't imagine
If you've never flown at all
Though it's safer to stay on the ground
Sometimes where danger lies
There the sweetest of pleasures are found
No matter where I go
There'll be mem'ries that tug at my sleeve
But there will also be
More to question yet more to believe
(oh tell me where
Where is the someone who will turn to look at me
And want to sahre
My ev'ry sweet-imagined possibility?)
The more I live - the more I learn
The more I learn - the more I realize
The less I know
Each step I take
(papa, I've a voice now!)
Each page I turn
(papa, I've a choice now!)
Each mile I travel only means
The more I have to go
What's wrong with wanting more?
If you can fly - then soar!
With all there is - why settle for
Just a piece of sky?
Papa, I can hear you...
Papa, I can see you...
Papa, I can feel you...
Papa, watch me fly!

Hula Hoop
Hula Hoop
Composer(s): Jean-Luc Renders; Bernard Loncheval; Peter Lacy
Performer(s): Plastic Bertrand
J'ai rencontré une fille
'Tait sexy la gamine
Elle est pas mal jolie
Me colle à la rétine
Un ptit regard de miel
Qu'elle me lance dans les prunelles
Qu'est-ce qu'elle est belle!
La souris m'a souri
Ah, mes amis, quel choc!
C'était sur la plage
Elle dansait le hula hoop
J'ai voulu l'embrasser
Je me suis cassé le nez
"Touche pas bébé!"
Refrain:
Yé yé, viens danser le hula hoop
Yé yé, on va danser le hula hoop
Yé yé, viens danser le hula hoop
Hula hula hula hula hula hula hula hula hoop!
Je m'la suis embarquée
Boire un milk-shake vanille
Mais qu'est-ce qui s'est passé?
Elle est repartie
Avec un malabar
Pas très mignon à voir
Quel désespoir!
C'était plutôt comique
Quand on s'est retrouvés
L'aut' jour à la piscine
Juste avant de plonger
Elle m'a pris par la main
Pas besoin d'un dessin
Elle m'a dit "Viens!"
Refrain x2
Un jour j'étais peinard
Branché sur l'transistor
J'entendis des pétards
Sous mon aéroport
Et j'la vois qui se pointe
Hula hoop à la main
J'lui ai dit "Viens!"
Refrain x4

A Picture Of You
A Picture Of You
Composer(s): John James Beveridge - Peter Andrew Oakman
Performer(s): Joe Brown
In the night there are sights to be seen
Stars like jewels on the crown of a queen
But the only sight I wanna view
Is that wonderful picture of you
On the streetcar or in the cafe
All of the evening and most of the day
My mind is in a maze, what can I do?
I'll still see that picture of you
It was last summer, I fell in love
My heart told me what to do
I saw you there on the crest of a hill
And I took a little picture of you
Then you were gone like a dream in the night
With you went my heart, my love and my light
I didn't know your name, what could I do?
I only had a picture of you
And you were gone like a dream in the night
With you went my heart, my love and my light
I didn't know you're name, what could I do
I only had a picture of you, oh yes
That wonderful picture of you
I'm in love with a picture of you, oh yes
A wonderful picture of you

Huis-, Tuin- En Keukenliedje
Huis-, Tuin- En Keukenliedje
Composer(s): J. Senn; J. Blok
Performer(s): Wim Sonneveld
Vodden, wie heeft er nog vodden
Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor uw vodden
Geloof me, 't is nou het seizoen om al uw vodden weg te doen
Wat hebt u aan die todden?
Geef mij uw oude vodden
Zorgen, wie heeft er nog zorgen
Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor uw zorgen
Ik geef een bronzen carillon, een zilv'ren maan, een gouden zon
Een stille zomermorgen, die geef ik voor uw zorgen
Tranen, wie heeft er nog tranen
Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor uw tranen
Ik ruil ze voor een klein gedicht, een glimlach of een lief gezicht
De bomen en de lanen, die geef ik voor uw tranen
Pijn, wie heeft er nog pijn
Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor uw pijn
'k Geef al het gras van Nederland, een plekje aan de waterkant
Waar bloemen en waar vogels zijn, die geef ik voor uw pijn
Verdriet, wie heeft er verdriet
Ik geef de hoogste waarde voor verdriet
Een hoog're waarde krijgt u niet
Voor oud verdriet, voor groot verdriet geef ik een lied
En voor een klein verdrietje
Een huis-, tuin- en keukenverdrietje
Geef ik
refr.:
Een huis-, tuin- en keukenliedje
Met een huis-, tuin- en keukenrefrein
Zo'n heel doodgewoon melodietje
Zo'n liedje hoeft niet zo hoogdravend te zijn
Een liedje voor alle mensen
De dokter, de slager, papa en mama
Een lied dat de diender op wacht kweelt
Dat het orgel heel zacht op de gracht speelt
Tra la la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la
refr.
Tra la la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la
La la la la, la la la la, la la la, la la la
La la la

Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): June Knight & Charles Walters
and multiple other artists
From being merely a necessary luxury
And someone sympathetic to have about
Why, now you're nearly a luxurious necessity
I couldn't imagine ever living without
I suppose I'd somehow struggle through
But I'd hate to picture myself without you
Picture Henry Ford without a car
Picture heaven's firmament without a star
Picture Fritzy Kreisler without a fiddle
Picture poor Philadelphia without a Biddle
Picture good cigars without Havana
Picture Huey Long without Louisiana
Mix 'em all together, and what have you got?
Just a picture of me without you
Picture H. G. Wells without a brain
Picture Av'rell Harriman without a train
Picture Tintern Abbey without a cloister
Picture Billy the Oysterman without an oyster
Picture Central Park without a sailor
Picture Mister Lord minus Mister Taylor
Mix 'em all together, and what have you got?
Just a picture of me without you
Picture Ogden Nash without a rhyme
Picture Mister Bulova without the time
Picture Staten Island without a ferry
Picture little George Washington without a cherry
Picture brother Cain without his Abel
Picture Clifton Webb minus Mother Mabel
Mix 'em all together, and what have you got?
Just a picture of me without you
Picture Paul Revere without a horse
Picture love in Hollywood without divorce
Picture Barbara Hutton without a nickel
Picture poor Mister Heinz, my dear, without a pickle
Picture City Hall without boondogglin'
Picture Sunday tea minus Father Coughlin
Mix 'em all together and what have you got?
Just a picture of me without you
Picture Lily Pons without a throat
Picture Harold Vanderbilt without a boat
Picture Billy Sunday without a sinner
Picture dear Missus Corrigan without a dinner
Picture Hamlet's ghost without a darkness
Picture Mother Yale minus Father Harkness
Mix 'em all together and what have you got?
Just a picture of me without you!

Huguette Waltz
Huguette Waltz (aka The Vagabond King Waltz)
Composer(s): Rudolf Friml; Brian Hooker
Performer(s): Billy May;
and various other artists
Hearts may flower for an hour
Tho' they die in a day
Lips may kiss
Blind with bliss
Ere they learn to betray
Light Love, smiling, untrue
Bright Love, what would you do
If I give my Love to you before I wander away?
Never try to bind me
Never hope to know
Take me as you find me
Love and let me go
Tho' the loves we leave behind us
Change and fade away
Never mind, you may be mine to day
Never try to bind me
Never hope to know
Take me as you find me
Love and let me go
Tho' the loves we leave behind us
Change and fade away
Never mind, you may be mine to day

A Picture Of Me (Without You)
A Picture Of Me (Without You)
Composer(s): Norris Wilson - George Richey
Performer(s): George Jones
and multiple other artists
Imagine a world where no music was playing
And think of a church with nobody praying
Have you ever looked up at a sky with no blue?
Then you've seen a picture of me without you
Have you walked in a garden where nothing was growing
Or stood by a river where nothing was flowing
If you've seen a red rose unkissed by the dew
Then you've seen a picture of me without you
Can you picture Heaven with no angels singing
Or a quiet Sunday morning with no church bells ringing
If you've watched as the heart of a child breaks in two
Then you've seen a picture of me without you
Can you picture Heaven with no angels singing
Or a quiet Sunday morning with no church bells ringing
If you've watched as the heart of a child breaks in two
Then you've seen a picture of me without you
Then you've seen a picture of me without you

Hugo (The Human Cannonball)
Hugo (The Human Cannonball)
Composer(s): C.W. Kalb Jr.; Carlene Kalb; Ray Stevens
Performer(s): Ray Stevens
Well, they came to town
With their elephants and clowns
On a hit sticky August day
And every telephone pole
Had a poster that told
Of the thrills that were coming our way
There were trapeze fliers
And men that ate fire
And things we never dreamed existed
And the radio and TV
Told us we'd be
Fools if we dared to miss it
Now all three rings
Held wondrous things
Marvels of every invention
But the big long shrouded
Shape in the corner
Increasingly drew our attention
There were bareback riders
Lions and tigers
And clowns in their itty bitty car
But every woman and man
And child in the stand
Had come to see the star
Then a hush fell on the crowd
As the men pulled the shroud
From the muzzle that was 30 feet long
And to screams and cheers
He finally appeared
And flamboyantly bowed to the throng
He wore red sequined tights
That sparkled in the lights
And boots that came to his knees
And a chromium football helmet
And a cape
That flapped in the breeze
And the dazzled crowd
Shouted out loud
You could hear them one and all
We want Hugo!
Hugo! Hugo!
The Human Cannonball
The aim was carefully calculated
The trajectory was precise
The charge was carefully measured
And poured into the loading device
The fuse was trimmed, the lights were dimmed
Hugo slid down the barrel and then
All was ready and Hugo's daddy
Counted down from
Ten!
And the drums rolled
Nine
And our blood ran cold
Eight!
The ambulance stood by
Seven!
Several woman cried
Six!
The spotlight hit the net
Five!
No one would ever forget
Four!
Eternity passed
Three!
Every heart beat fast
Two!
And Hugo's daddy said, "Are you ready Hugo?"
One!
And from the bowels of the gun, "I'm a-ready, Papa!"
Boom!
Well, fire and smoke belched
Out of the cannon
And the earth trembled for a while
And the big gun roared
And Hugo soared
Through the air like a projectile
Two hundred and fifty
Feet he flew
Like an Air Force fighter jet
But at the apex
Of his trajectory
He knew he's gonna miss the net
Oh! Arms flailing
He kept on sailing
A terrified screaming creature
And the crowd scattered
As Hugo splattered
All over the upper bleacher
In the aftermath
Of this tragic event
Disbelief filled every face
There was Hugo
And there was Hugo
There was Hugo all over the place!
Well, the dust has
Finally settled and
The smoke has finally cleared
Hugo's name
And Hugo's fame
Will always be revered
But no one
Ever took his place
No matter who they were
Because they never found
Another man
Of Hugo's caliber
The Circus' main attraction
The greatest star of all
Was Hugo!
Hugo!
The Human Cannonball!

Pictures From Life's Other Side
Pictures From Life's Other Side ((aka A Picture From Life's Other Side (by Bill Anderson) - 1969))
Composer(s): Hank Williams
First recording/First release by: Hank Williams - 1951
In the world's mighty gallery of pictures
Hang the scenes that are painted from life
There's pictures of love and of passion
Then there's pictures of peace and of strife
There hang pictures of youth and of beauty
Of old age and the blushing young bride
They all hang on the wall - but the saddest of all
Are the pictures from life's other side
Just a picture from life's other side
Someone has fell by the way
A life has gone out with the tide
That might have been happy someday
There's a poor old mother at home
She's watching and waiting alone
Just longing to hear - from a loved one so dear
It's just a picture from life's other side
The first scene is that of a gambler
Who had lost all his money at play
An' he draws his dead mother's ring from his finger
That she wore long ago on her wedding day
It's his last earthly treasure, but he stakes it
Then he bows his head that his shame he may hide
But, when they lifted his head - they found he was dead
That's just a picture from life's other side
Now the last scene is that by the river
Of a heart-broken mother and babe
As the harbor lights shine and they shiver
On an outcast whom no one will save
And yet, she was once a true woman
She was somebody's darlin' and pride
God help her, she leaps - for there's no one to weep
It's just a picture from life's other side

Huggin' And Chalkin'
Huggin' And Chalkin'
Composer(s): Clarence Leonard Hayes; Kermit Goell
Performer(s): Hoagy Carmichael;
and various other artists
I got a gal that's mighty sweet
With big blue eyes and tiny feet
Her name is Rosabelle Malone
And she tips the scale at twenty stone
Oh, gee, but ain't it grand to have a girl so big and fat
That when you go to hug her, you don't know where you're at
You have to take a piece of chalk in your hand
And hug a ways and chalk a mark to see where you began
One day I was a-huggin' and a-chalkin' and a-chalkin' and a-huggin' away
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
Comin' around the other way over the mountain
Comin' around the other way
Her:
Oh Gee, it aint so grand to be a girl so big and fat
That when you go to hug me you don’t know where you’re at
Him:
I have to take a piece of chalk in my hand
And hug away and chalk a mark to see where I began
Him:
Now where is that chalk?
Ah, here it is
I’ll put one cross here, and another one here
Her:
Darling
Him:
Ah, but seriously you know that I’m crazy about you
and I mean all of you, every little bit
Both:
We both feel we’re meant for each other
Him:
Yet when we walk through the street people think
that I’m out with my mother
One day I was a-huggin' and a-chalkin' and a-beggin' her to be my bride
When I met another fella with some chalk in his hand
Comin' around the other side
It was Lou Praeger
Comin' around the other side

A Petal From A Faded Rose
Composer(s): Leon Rusk - Merle Travis
Performer(s): Little Jimmy Dickens
and multiple other artists
Here's a rose from the garden where the bloom of romance grows
But I'll keep one part near my aching heart just a petal from a faded rose
Love is sweet in the morning when the breeze of summer blows
But will fade and die when the winter's nigh a petal from a faded rose
Now our love is a mem'ry where it's gone nobody knows
But I'll hold so dear as a souvenir just a petal from a faded rose
I will live with the roses where the stream of mem'ry flows
And each time I dream a tear will gleam on the petal from a faded rose

Hug And Squeeze Me
Hug And Squeeze Me
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul
Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul
If you are looking for loving
You might have to wait a little while
For it is hidden inside by the tears that I cried
When his love died
But you could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
Not too fast you gotta make it last
You could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
If you are looking for loving
You might see me fake a lttle smile
For it has all been denied with the rest of my pride
When his love died
But you could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
Really slow and let the feeling grow
You could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
Please hug and squeeze me
But you could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
Not too tight and make it last all night
You could hug and squeeze me, nice and easy
Hug and squeeze me, nice and easy

Hueles a noche de amor
y duermes sobre mi pecho
mientras apago mi voz

Performer(s): Chico Buarque

São José de porcelana vai morar
Na matriz da Imaculada Conceição
O Bom José desalojado
Pode agora despertar
E acudir os seus fiéis sem terra, sem trabalho e pão
Vai a Virgem de alabastro Conceição
Na charola para a igreja do Bonfim
A Conceição incomodada
Vai ouvir nossa oração
Nos livrar da seca, da enxurrada e da estação ruim
Bom Jesus de luz neon sai do Bonfim
Pra capela de São Carlos Barromeu
O bom Jesus contrariado
Deve se lembrar enfim
De mandar o tempo de fartura que nos prometeu
Barromeu pedra-sabão vai pro altar
Pertencente à estrela-mãe de Nazaré
A Nazaré vai de jumento
Pro mosteiro de São Joào
E o Envangelista pra basílica de São José
Mas se a vida mesmo assim não melhorar
Os beatos vão largar a boa-fé
E as paróquias com seus santos
Tudo fora de lugar
Santo que quiser voltar pra casa
Só se for a pé

Huckleberry Finn
Huckleberry Finn
Composer(s): Sam. M. Lewis; Joe Young; Cliff Hess
There was a rascal, in the town where I came from
The people thought that he was dumb
Because he couldn't do a sum
That's why they nicknamed him, "Huckleberry Finn"
But he believed in fun, laughed at every one
How I wish I were him
They tried to teach him how to do arithmetic
But he just whittled on a stick
And said the figures made him sick
"Add-in' and countin', don't mean a thing to me
When I begin to earn
Then I'll start to learn
How to count it," said he
Huckleberry Finn
If I were Huckleberry Finn
I'd do the things he did
I'd be a kid again
You'd always find me out fishin', beside a shady pool
Wishin', there never was a school
If I were only, Huckleberry Finn
In every mischief I'd be in
And on my freckled face you'd always find a grin
I wouldn't put my shoes or stockings on for any man
And all I'd ever wear would be a coat of tan
If I were Huckleberry Finn

A Perfect Love
A Perfect Love
Composer(s): Cahn Brodszky - Sammy Cahn
Performer(s): Jo Stafford
When you find a perfect love
No other kiss but his can touch your heart
All at once your dreams are silver lined
Two hearts as one combined can find a world apart
And then you know the perfect thrill
That all the wise men still can't know the meaning of
Yours the warmth and yours the glow
When at last you come to know the wonder of a perfect love
Yours the warmth and yours the glow
When at last you come to know the wonder of a perfect love
