Hush-A-Bye Island
Hush-A-Bye Island
Composer(s): Harold Adamson; Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Close your eyes, my little darling
'cause it's time to drift away
To Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
Buy a candy-coated mountain, you have lots of time to play
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
You can take the Toy-Town Trolley and meet the jolly Times Express
No one there is melancholy, it's an isle of happiness
Don't you keep your dreamboat waiting, hope you have a pleasant stay
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay
You can take the Toy-Town Trolley and meet the jolly Times Express
No one there is melancholy, it's an isle of happiness
Don't you keep your dreamboat waiting, hope you have a pleasant stay
On Hush-a-bye Island on Rock-a-bye Bay

The Ragpicker's Dream
The Ragpicker's Dream
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Mark Knopfler
When Jack Frost came for Christmas
With a brass monkey date
The rail-king and the scarecrow
Hopped a florlda freight
And they blew on their paper cups
And stared through the steam
Then they drank half a bottle
Of ragpicker's dream where
The whiskey keeps following
Cold pitchers of beer
Me and my associate
Like the clientele here get
The onions and the 'taters
Rib-eyes on the grill
Toothpicks and luckies
And a coffee refill as
The rail-king lay rocking
He was leaving the ground
Then he was flying like santa claus
Over the town where
He came to the window
Of a house by a stream
It was a family christmas
In the ragpicker's dream there
Were kids at the table
All aglow in the light
Music in the wintertime
Sure carries at night there
Was turkey and gravy
Pie and ice-cream
And gifts for each and everyone
In the ragpicker's dream where
The red-eye keeps tumbling
In our glasses of beer
Me and my associate
Like the service in here there's
A ten for your trouble
You have beautiful hair
Make the last one two doubles
It's a cold one out there where
The scarecrow and the rail-king
Have started to dance
But a nightstick and a billyclub
Won't give peace a chance here
I think they went thataways
Your song and dance team
Heading home for the holidays
With the ragpicker's dream on
His knees like a fighter
The rail-riding king
Like a sack of potatoes
Like a bull in the ring where
The scarecrow falls over
With a tear in the seam
Home for the rover
In the ragpicker's dream where
The red-eye keeps tumbling
Like tears in our beer
Me and my associate
Like the ambience here where
They cornered two castaways
In a white flashlight beam
Merry christmas and happy days
In the ragpicker's dream

À Quoi Ça Sert L'amour?
À Quoi Ça Sert L'amour?
Composer(s): Michel Emer
Performer(s): Edith Piaf & Theo Sarapo
and multiple other artists
À quoi ça sert l’amour?
On raconte toujours
Des histoires insensées
À quoi ça sert l’amour?
L’amour ne s’explique pas!
C’est une chose comme ça!
Qui vient on ne sait d’où
Et vous prend tout à coup
Moi, j’ai entendu dire
Que l’amour fait souffrir
Que l’amour fait pleurer
À quoi ça sert d’aimer?
L’amour, ça sert à quoi?
À nous donner d’la joie
Avec des larmes aux yeux…
C’est triste et merveilleux!
Pourtant on dit souvent
Que l’amour est décevant
Qu’il y a un sur deux
Qui n’est jamais heureux…
Même quand on l’a perdu
L’amour qu’on a connu
Vous laisse un gout du miel
L’amour c’est éternel!
Tout ça c’est très joli
Mais quand tout est fini
Il ne vous reste rien
Qu’un immense chagrin…
Tout ce qui maintenant
Te semble déchirant
Demain, sera pour toi
Un souvenir de joie!
En somme, si j’ai compris
Sans amour dans la vie
Sans ses joies, ses chagrins
On a vécu pour rien?
Mais oui! Regarde-moi!
À chaque fois j’y crois!
Et j’y croirait toujours…
Ça sert à ça l’amour!
Mais toi, tu es le dernier!
Mais toi’ tu es le premier!
Avant toi y avait rien
Avec toi je suis bien!
C’est toi que je voulais!
C’est toi qu’il me fallait!
Toi que j’aimerais toujours…
Ça sert à ça l’amour!

Hush, Little Baby
Hush, Little Baby
(German Version: Sch ... Kleines Baby Wein Nicht Mehr)
(Traditional)
Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Mama's gonna buy you a mockin'bird
If that mockin'bird don't sing
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns to brass
Mama's gonna buy you a looking glass
If that looking glass gets broke
Mama's gonna buy you a billy goat
If that billy goat don't pull
Mama's gonna buy you a cart and mule
If that cart and mule turn over
Mama's gonna buy you a dog named Rover
If that dog named Rover won't bark
Mama's gonna buy you a horse and cart
If that horse and cart fall down
You'll be the sweetest little baby in town

À Quoi Ça Sert?
À Quoi Ça Sert?
Composer(s): Françoise Hardy
Performer(s): Françoise Hardy
Comme toi j'ai un cœur qui ne peut rien promettre
à qui l'amour fait peur mais qui t'aime peut-être
à quoi ça sert de le cacher
à quoi ça sert d'y échapper?
Je n'ai rien à t'offrir que ce que mes yeux voient
tu ne veux pas souffrir mais qui ne souffre pas?
à quoi ça sert de l'éviter
à quoi ça sert de t'en aller?
À rester dans ta tour d'ivoire
en broyant du rose ou du noir
tout seul - tout seul
Comme on n'est pas très malheureux
on oublie qu'on n'est pas heureux
tout seul - tout seul
Je n'ai que les étoiles et rien d'autre pour toi
si l'on doit se faire mal c'est la vie qui veut ça
à quoi ça sert de rester seul
à quoi ça sert de vivre seul
Je n'ai que les étoiles et rien d'autre pour toi
si l'on doit se faire mal c'est la vie qui veut ça
à quoi ça sert de rester seul
à quoi ça sert de vivre seul tout seul..

Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Composer(s): Mack David; Frank DeVol
Performer(s): Patti Page;
Bette Davis; Al Martino; Gerry Mulligan
Chorus:
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
Charlotte, don't you cry
Hush hush, sweet Charlotte
He'll love you till he dies
Oh, hold him darling
Please hold him tight
And brush the tear from your eye
You weep because you had a dream last night
You dreamed that he said goodbye
He held two roses within his hand
Two roses he gave to you
The red rose tells you of his passion
The white rose his love so true
Chorus
And every night after he shall die
Yes every night when he's gone
The wind will sing to you this lullaby
Sweet Charlotte was loved by John
Chorus

A Quiet Place To Live
A Quiet Place To Live
Composer(s): Carole King
Performer(s): Carole King
All I want is a quiet place to live
WHere I can enjoy the fruits of my labor
Read the paper
And not have to cry out loud
In my mind I can see it crystal clear
Sharing my dreams with the people around me
Now they surround me
ANd I'm just a part of the crowd
What will become of us
What about the children
What will they do to us next time around
What will the amswer be
What will it mean to me
When are they gonna see we're underground
Here underground
And all I want is a quiet place to live
WHere I can be free in a world of my making
Instead of taking what they decided to give
I wouldn't want what they have-no
If I could only find a quiet place to live

Hush! Here Comes A Whizz Bang
Hush! Here Comes A Whizz Bang
Hush, here comes a whizz bang
Hush, here comes a whizz bang
Now, you soldier men, get down those stairs
Down in your dugouts and say your prayers
Hush, here comes a whizz bang
And it's making straight for you
And you'll see all the wonders of no-man's-land
If a whizz bang hits you

A Quien Pueda Interesar
A Quien Pueda Interesar
Performer(s): Silvio Rodríguez
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal?
(a quien pueda interesar)
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal?
¡soy feliz de regresar!
Ahora heme aquí
entre ustedes en la vida otra vez
Ahora heme aquí
con un poco de agua fría en los pies
Ya regresé
y el que quiera puede ya sonreír
el que quiera puede irse a llorar
y al que quiera puede darle igual
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
pero ante todo tengo que ordenar mis cosas
Es que he traído demasiados documentos
sobre el mar
es que he traído demasiada inspiración
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
pero ante todo tengo que coger respiro
He de llenarme nuevamente
de las cosas, de la gente
antes de hacerme aplaudir o censurar
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal?
(a quien pueda interesar)
¿Cómo andan, hola, que tal?
¡soy feliz de regresar!
Ahora heme aquí
entre ustedes en la vida otra vez
Ahora heme aquí
con un poco de agua fría en los pies
Ya regresé
y el que quiera puede ya sonreír
el que quiera puede irse a llorar
y al que quiera puede darle igual
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
pero ante todo abrazo a mis amigos
a alguna muchachita que se muestre
amable en el saludo
a la familia, a los vecinos y demás
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar
pero ante todo estoy besando el suelo
Como se puede ver
regreso con color en las mejillas
- y si pudiera verse el alma habría más -
Me regocija verlo todo junto otra vez
para vivir un poco más allá
para morir un poco más también
Estoy hablando a quien pueda interesar

Performer(s): Raphael
and multiple other artists
La Gente Me Señala, Me Apunta Con El Dedo
Susurra A Mis Espaldas Y A Mi Me Importa Un Bledo
¿que Mas Me Da Si Soy Distinta A Ellos?
No Soy De Nadie, No Tengo Dueño
Yo Se Que Me Critican, Me Consta Que Me Odian
La Envidia Les Corroe, Mi Vida Les Agobia
¿por Que Sera? Yo No Tengo La Culpa
Mis Circunstancias Les Insultan
Mi Destino Es El Que Yo Decido
El Que Yo Elijo Para Mi
¿a Quien Le Imorta Lo Que Yo Haga?
¿a Quien Le Importa Lo Que Yo Diga?
Yo Soy Asi Y Asi Seguire, Nunca Cambiare
Quiza La Culpa Es Mia Por No Seguir La Norma
Ya Es Demasiado Tarde Para Cambiar Ahora
Me Mantendre Firme En Mis Convicciones
Reforzare Mis Posiciones
Mi Destino Es El Que Yo Decido
El Que Yo Elijo Para Mi
¿a Quien Le Imorta Lo Que Yo Haga?
¿a Quien Le Importa Lo Que Yo Diga?
Yo Soy Asi Y Asi Seguire, Nunca Cambiare

On Ivor the Engine Driver's lap
And later with him, had a nap
You are forgiven, you are forgiven, you are forgiven ... (ad lib)
You are forgiven

Husbands And Wives
Husbands And Wives
Composer(s): Roger Miller
Performer(s): Roger Miller;
and various other artists
Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like houses
Where nobody lives,
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives.
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives
A woman and a man, a man and a woman
Some can, some can't and some can
Two broken hearts, lonely, looking like houses
Where nobody lives
Two people each having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
The angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
It's my belief pride is the chief 'cause
In the decline in the number of husbands and wives
Husbands and wives

Bien sûr quand je sens la musique monter en moi

Au fond de moi, tout au fond de moi
Au fond de moi...
J'ai tant de tendresse
Dans les yeux quand je le veux
Au fond de mon cour

J'ai tant de caresses au creux des mains
Au bout des mains
Quelque part quelqu'un
Doit avoir besoin
De moi, de moi

À, à qui?
Sourire encore si tu t'en vas

Loin de toi c'est l'ennui
Prés de toi c'est la vie
Je sais que tu es malheureux
Notre amour est encore dans tes yeux
À, à qui?
Parler d'amour en m'éveillant
À qui?
Dire des mots doux en l'embrassant
Tu sais
Que tu me fais mal
En me laissant si seule comme ca
Reste encore là
Oh ne t'en va pas
À, à, à qui?
Faire don encore de ma tendresse
À qui?
À qui raconter mes tristesses
À qui dire je t'aime
À qui raconter mes peines
Dis-moi à qui?
