Walk On The Wild Side
Walk On The Wild Side
Composer(s): Lou Reed
Performer(s): Lou Reed
Holly came from Miami, F-L-A
Hitchhiked her way across the U-S-A
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
Candy came from out on the Island
In the back room she was everybody's darlin'
But she never lost her head
Even when she was givin' head
She says hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
Said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls go
Doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo...
Little Joe never once gave it away
Everybody had to pay and pay
A hustle here and a hustle there
New York City's the place where
They said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
They said hey Joe, take a walk on the wild side
Sugar plum fairy came and hit the streets
Lookin' for soul food and a place to eat
Went to the Apollo
You should have seen him go go go
They said hey Sugar, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
All right, huh
Jackie is just speedin' away
Thought she was James Dean for a day
Then I guess she had to crash
Valium would've helped that bash
She said hey babe, take a walk on the wild side
I said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side
And the colored girls say...

A Story Untold
A Story Untold
Composer(s): Leroy Griffin
Performer(s): The Crew Cuts
Well here in my heart, there's a story untold
of a girl who left me standing, standing in the cold
and since she's been away
I've never had a happy day
I hope and I pray, that she'll hear my plea
and maybe someday, she'll come back to me
for, here in my heart, there's a story untold
For all you've said and done
you said we'd be as one
but darling I found I was wrong
but what did you do,
right from the start
you made of fool of me and then you broke my heart well
I hope and I pray, that she'll hear my plea
and maybe someday, she'll come back to me
For, here in my heart, there's a story untold
A story, story untold

Walk On By (Leroy Van Dyke)
Walk On By
Composer(s): Kendall Hayes
Performer(s): Leroy Van Dyke;
and various other artists
If I see you tomorrow on some street in town
Pardon me if I don't say hello (say hello)
I belong to another, it wouldn't look so good
To know someone I'm not supposed to know
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
In a dimly lit corner in a place outside of town
Tonight we'll try to say goodbye again (say goodbye)
But I know it's not over, I'll call tomorrow night
I can't let you go so why pretend
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
Just walk on by, wait on the corner
I love you, but we're strangers when we meet
I love you, but we're strangers when we meet

A Story
A Story
Composer(s): Yoko Ono
Performer(s): Yoko Ono
There was a girl who couldn’t speak
Who couldn’t speak her mind
Only thing she was good at
Was telling stories of faraway lands
There was a guy who couldn’t say
Who couldn’t say what he wanted
Only thing he was good at
Was cracking jokes to make people laugh
So many words he swallowed
So many thoughts she kept to herself
And when they met they made love
And talked about the world and the weather
So many cities he walked
So many countries she traveled
And in their dreams they would listen
To the sound of the sea they heard together

Walk On By (Dionne Warwick)
Walk On By
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach; Hal David
Performer(s): Dionne Warwick
If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe
that you don't see the tears
Just let me grieve
in private
'cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by (don't stop)
And walk on by
I just can't get over losing you
And so if I seem broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by
and walk on by
and walk by (don't stop)
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride
Is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)
and walk on by (don't stop)

A Steel Guitar And A Glass Of Wine
A Steel Guitar And A Glass Of Wine
Composer(s): Paul Anka
Performer(s): Paul Anka
Just give me a steel guitar, a glass of wine
And let me drink to a love I thought was mine
A love I thought was true to me
But now I'm drinking to her memory
A steel guitar and a glass of wine
While my tears they glisten and the candles shine
Oh candle-glow, oh candle bright
Tell me who she holds tonight
And bring me wine
And make the music mine
Play another set
So that I'll forget
Mmm, bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine
And let me toast her just one more time
Oh candle-glow, before you dim
Tell her what a fool she's been
And bring me wine
Make the music mine
Play another set
So that I'll forget
And bring me a steel guitar and a glass of wine
And let me toast her just one more time
Oh candle-glow, before you dim
Tell her what a fool she's been
And one more thing before I go
Here's a secret, I still love her so
And one more thing before I go
Here's a secret, I still love her so
And one more thing before I go
Here's a secret, I still love her so
And one more thing before I go
Here's a secret, I still love her so

Walk Of Life
Walk Of Life
Composer(s): Mark Knopfler
Performer(s): Dire Straits;
and various other artists
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny and he'll tell you the story
Hand me down my walkin' shoes
Here come Johnny with the power and the glory
Backbeat the talkin' blues
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah, the boy can play
Dedication devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
He do the song about the sweet lovin' woman
He do the song about the knife
He do the walk, he do the walk of life
Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies
Be-Bop-A-Lula, Baby What I Say
Here comes Johnny singing I Gotta Woman
Down in the tunnels, trying to make it pay
He got the action, he got the motion
Yeah the boy can play
Decidation devotion
Turning all the night time into the day
And after all the violence and double talk
There's just a song in the trouble and the strife
You do the walk, you do the walk of life

In ev'ry job that must be done

The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his
Bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song
Will move the job along
For a...

I'm just a lonely egg
Peel me down
I'm not afraid
What will we do

Walk like an egg
Yankee shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg
C'mon and walk like an egg
Yankee shake a leg, shake a leg, shake a leg
I'm just a lonely egg and I'm an egghead
Peel me down and I'm white and naked
Everybody thinks that I'm just a joke
Baby, baby the joke's on you
Waddling around
Egg is in town
A fellow's gotta waddle
He's hittin' full throttle

Mary Poppins:
Dans tout travail, il y a un élément de plaisir
Trouvez-le, et clac! Le travail devient un jeu
Et chaque tâche peut devenir
Selon l'humeur un plaisir
Tous les soupirs
Ne valent pas mieux qu'un sourire
C'est le morceau de sucre
Qui aide la médecine à couler
La médecine à couler
La médecine à couler
Juste un morceau de sucre
Qui aide la médecine à couler
Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!
L'oiseau faisant son nid douillet
N'a guère le temps pour se reposer
Il va cueillir des brins de laine et de bois
Bien que pris par ses occupations
Il siffle l'air gai d'une chanson
Ce qui rend surtout le travail beaucoup moins long
C'est le morceau de sucre
Qui aide la médecine à couler
La médecine à couler
La médecine à couler
Juste un morceau de sucre
Qui aide la médecine à couler
Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!
Quand les abeilles travaillent
De fleur en fleur sous le ciel bleu
Elles vont puis elles viennent
Et volent tout en bourdonnant
Mais aussi elles font des agapes
En profitant de chaque étape
Et c'est ce qui fait
Que la tâche est bien plus gaie
Jane et Michael:
C'est le morceau de sucre
Qui aide la médecine à couler
La médecine à couler
La médecine à couler
Juste un morceau de sucre
Qui aide la médecine à couler
Ça vous rend la vie plus belle!

Walk Like A Man
Composer(s): Bob Gaudio; Bob Crewe
Performer(s): Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons
Oh, how you tried to cut me down to size
Tellin' dirty lies to my friends
But my own father said "Give her up, don't bother
The world isn't comin' to an end"
(He said)
Walk like a man, talk like a man
Walk like a man my son
No woman's worth crawlin' on the earth
So walk like a man, my son
Bye bye baby, I don't-a mean maybe
Gonna get along somehow
Soon you'll be cryin' on account of all your lyin'
Oh yeah, just look who's laughin' now
(I'm gonna)
Walk like a man, fast as I can
Walk like a man from you
I'll tell the world "forget about it, girl"
And walk like a man from you

Performer(s): Eddy Mitchell - 2009
Coeur
Celui qui est seul
Celui qui est seul
Celui qui est seul
Aussi seul que je l'étais
Celui qui est seul
Celui là seul connait
La longue agonie
D'attendre en vain
La main d'un ami
L'amour au moins
Seul celui qui est seul
Mais pas seulement
Comprend celui qui est seul
Coeur
Celui qui est seul
Celui qui est seul
Celui qui est seul
Etait tout seul avec vous
Celui qui est seul
Sa solitude est pour vous
Donner lui demain
Une autre chance
De parler enfin
De ses silences
Qu'il ne soit plus seul
Seulement celui
Celui qui est seul

My throat is dry
my knees are weak
it's so damned hot
I can't even speak

That's a shady kind of deal
I just want to find out
how you feel
walk in my shadow
I ain't gonna take it anymore
when I get you in the shadow
I'm gonna give you what's in store
yes I know you say I'm stupid
it just wouldn't be cool
well I can tell baby that
I aint no fool
walk in my shadow
I can't take it anymore
when I get you in the shadow
I'm gonna lay you on the floor
when I get you in the shadow
I'm gonna give you what's in store

You Forgot All The Words (While I Still Remember The Tune)
You Forgot All The Words (While I Still Remember The Tune)
Composer(s): Bernie Wayne - E.H. Hay
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Love was like a song
A lovely melody
Our hearts would sing along
In perfect harmony
But you forgot all the words
While I still remember the tune
Each time our lips would cling
I heard a serenade
Of love and youth and spring
Forever to be played
But you forgot all the words
While I still remember the tune
We used to dance
Instead of walk
We used to sing
Instead of talk
Why was our love song
That used to be
Only the start of the blues for me
But songs are funny things
They never really die
And so my hope still clings
That someday you will try
To just remember the words
For I still remember the tune
When lonely lights are lit
And midnight songs will start
Our song I must admit
Still fills my hopeful heart
So please remember the words
For I still remember the tune

Who took a-many to the Promised Land
Way over in Buelah
Where there ain't no dying there
Where the saints shoutin' victory
Oh, they singin', Lord, everywhere
Way over in Buelah
I hear the voice of friends I've known
They been gone on, gone on to Glory
Well, well a long time ago
They been waitin'
They been watchin'
They been waitin' at the beautiful gates
And one day I'm gonna meet them
Oh, I'm gonna sing forever more
Way over in Buelah

Well, he's callin' all God's chirrun'
Oh, to meet him on the Promised Land
God knows I'm gonna

Performer(s): Procol Harum
Bought a souvenir in London
Got to hide it from my mom
Can't declare it at the Customs
But I'll have to take it home
Tried to keep it confidential
But the news is leaking out
Got a souvenir in London
There's a lot of it about
Yes, I found a bit of London
I'd like to lose it quick
Got to show it to my doctor
'Cause it isn't going to shrink
Want to keep it confidential
But the truth is leaking out
Got a souvenir in London
There's a lot of it about

Walk By Yourself
Walk By Yourself
Composer(s): Pete Agnew; Ronnie Leahy;
Dan McCafferty; Jimmy Murrison
Performer(s): Nazareth
Walk by yourself, I've offered you my hand in friendship
You live alone; don't want to see in my house
You never contend, but you get your seat at ringside
You say you're self-made; least you're taking the blame
You used to take a chance, I remember
You used to roll the bones, seems like a long time ago
When the chips were down, you left me
At the rendezvous, I was on my own
Chorus:
Excuse me if I make you nervous
But I could never put my trust in a visionary
Phone's dead when you call room service
You're a troublemaker, you're a mercenary
Don't wear no black dress
But you're a widow maker
You want the money
Better see your soul, now you're reaping a sore harvest
When the horn sounds, your house it's gonna be Jericho
In the superbowl, your quarterback is broken
When the day it comes, see me laughing
Chorus
You make me n,n,n,n,nervous
Walk by yourself, I've offered you my hand in friendship
You live alone; don't want to see in my house
You never contend, but you get your seat at ringside
You say you're self-made; at least you're taking the blame
Chorus
