Walk The Dinosaur
Walk The Dinosaur
Composer(s): Randall Jacobs; Don Was; David Was
Performer(s): Was (Not Was); George Clinton
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacko boom boom
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
It was a night like this
fourty million years ago
I lit a cigarette
picked up a monkey
start to go
The sun was spitting fire
the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice"
I walked a dinosaur
I walked a dinosaur!
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur
Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom
boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
I met you in a cave
you were painting Buffalo
I said I'd be your slave
follow wherever you go
That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
You fell asleep
I stayed awake and watched the passing cars
I walked a dinosaur
I walked a dinosaur! . . .
A shadow from the sky
much too big to be a bird
A screaming
crashing noise
louder than I've ever heard
It looked like two big silver trees
that somehow learned to soar
Suddenly a summer breeze and a mighty lion's roar
I killed a dinosaur
I killed a dinosaur!
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur

A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré
A Su Mirar Me Acostumbré
((Adapted from: I've Grown Accustomed To Her Face (Rex Harrison) - 1956))
((Dutch Version: Ik Voel Dat Ik Haar Mis (Wim Sonneveld))
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner - Frederick Loewe - Manolo Fabregas
Performer(s): Manolo Fabregas
Ya! Ya! Ya! Ya!
A su mirar me acostumbré
Con ella el sol volvió a nacer
A su vivir me acostumbré
Y a verla junto a mí
Andar, reír, hablar, gemir
Una segunda juventud
Un nuevo día en mi vivir
Yo me jactaba de ser libre
De ser dueño de mi ser
Libre sin que nadie me dijera lo que hacer
Hasta que al fin la conocí
Y así me acostumbré a ser un nuevo ser
Casarse con Freddy, Ja!
Que descabellada, que dura, tonta y absurda idea
Pero las pagará, las pagará
Esa boda es un desastre
Aún antes de la bendición
Puedo verla ya, con su digna majestad
En un cuarto miserable de pensión
Puedo verla ya sin poder ni pan comprar
En la puerta un enfurecido cobrador
Querrá lucrar con mis lecciónes
Para el marido mantener
Y otra vez vendiendo flores
En el arroyo ha de ser
Ja!
En un año más con el pelo todo gris
Sus mejillas lucerán otro color
Y el marido aquél que juró amor sin fin
Habrá ido a Paris o Nuevo York
Pobre Eliza
Que horrible caso!
Que degradante! Que delicioso!
Y que tremenda noche en que envitablemente llamará
Y acudirá a mi puerta ahogada en llanto
Desesperada y sóla, arrepentida y contrita
La dejaré entrar o la echaré a los lobos?
Seré bondadoso o le daré merecido?
La invitaré o la arrojaré como un trapo viejo?
Soy un hombre sin rencor
Y es más sin torquedad sin maldad
Nunca he sacado ventaja de alguien jamás
Todo un hombre sin rencor
Más, yo nunca más atestaré
Aún de rodillas a mis pies
Aunque jure por su honor
Aunque llore de dolor
Con la puerta en las narices le daré!
Casarse con Freddy
Bah!
Sin embargo escucho aún su risa al despertar
Su linda voz, sus sí's, sus no's
Una segunda juventud
Un nuevo día en mi vivir
Por suerte siempre ha sido fácil
Olvidar a una mujer
Todo el mundo lo hace
Yo podré también, si no es
Por la costumbre que hay en mí
De algo que no sé, de algo que sentí

Walk Tall
Walk Tall
Composer(s): Sid Wayne
Performer(s): Val Doonican;
and various other artists
(Walk tall)
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
All through the years that I grew up, ma taught these things to me
But I was young and foolish then and much too blind to see
I ignored the things she said as if I'd never heard
Now I see and understand the wisdom of her words
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I started goin' places where the youngsters shouldn't go
I got to know the kind of girls it's better not to know
I fell in with a bad crowd and laughed and drank with them
Through the laughter mama's words would echo now and then
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
I got in trouble with the law and I'm in prison now
Through these prison bars I see things so much different now
I've got one year left to serve and when my time is done
I'll walk tall and straight and make ma proud to call me son
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
That's what my mama told me when I was about knee high
She said, son, be a proud man and hold your head up high
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
Walk tall, walk straight and look the world right in the eye
Walk tall

Walk Right Now
Walk Right Now
Composer(s): Michael Jackson; Jackie Jackson; Randy Jackson
Performer(s): The Jacksons
Here, when all my work is done
She calls and she says, dear, can I come?
I say to her, that you know our love has gone
But aggressive heart, you're really not the one
She comes to the door, crying at my feet
Guilt shines in her eyes
As she slowly sinks in deep
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep
I sigh, 'cause I thought this would never be
I say ohh, I'm screamin' out for someone
And now she's knockin' on the door for me
She just won't leave me alone
She wants to speak with me
And persuade me in her arms
And now she's callin' on the phone for me
Just won't leave me alone
Deep down inside she's trying to be clever
To love once more then leave me forever
I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
(Repeat)
I try so hard to cope with you
I can't bear with the things you put me through
To love as friends, I wish that we could see
But persuasive heart, you just won't let pure friendship be
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're sayin'
Walk right now, I ain't playin'
Love elsewhere, for you I'm prayin'
Don't look back, you ain't stayin'
(Repeat)

A Strawberry Moon (In A Blueberry Sky)
A Strawberry Moon (In A Blueberry Sky)
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Sammy Mysels
Performer(s): Joy Nichols
and multiple other artists
There's a strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
In a garden high over Manhattan
Oh what a heavenly pattern
Even your ma and your pa never saw such a
Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
Looming over two starry eyed people
Gazing at stars round the steeple
Of the church where I'll marry you soon
Under a strawberry moon
Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon
There's a strawberry cottage in blueberry lane
On the outskirts of merry Manhattan
Furnished with silk and with satin
Curtains of lace and three windows that face that old
Strawberry moon in a blueberry sky
And a strawberry patch in the garden
So glad that we put a yard in
We're expecting some blueberries soon
Under a strawberry moon.
Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon
Oh the moon, lovely moon
What a heavenly strawberry moon

Walk Right Back
Walk Right Back
Composer(s): Sonny Curtis
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothing seems to be the same old way
Think about the love that burns within my heart for you
The good times we had before you went away, oh please
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don't send it
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothing seems to be the same old way
Think about the love that burns within my heart for you
The good times we had before you went away from me
Walk right back to me this minute
Bring your love to me, don't send it
I'm so lonesome every day
Walk right back to me this minute
The Nicky Campbell show's on, innit?
I'm so lonesome every day
I'm so lonesome every day
I'm so lonesome every day

A Stranger On Earth
A Stranger On Earth
Composer(s): Sid Feller - Rick Ward
Performer(s): Marianne Faithfull
and multiple other artists
Some fools don't know what's right from wrong
But somehow those folks belong
Me, I try for all I'm worth
But I still remain a stranger on this earth
Some people gloom, other folk cry
Me, I have to struggle to keep alive
Ever since the day of my birth
I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth
I try to be what all folks should
Forgetting the bad and doing good
But no matter how I try
My troubles always multiply
Now I've been doing the best I can
Ever since life began
Some day when I prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth
Now I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began
The day's gonna come when I prove my worth
And I won't be no stranger
No, I won't be a stranger
On this earth

Walk Out In The Rain
Walk Out In The Rain
Composer(s): Bob Dylan; Helena Springs
Performer(s): Eric Clapton;
and various other artists
Walk out if it doesn't feel right
I can tell you're only lying
If you got something better tonight
Don't mess up my mind with your crying
Walk out in the rain
Walk out with your dreams
Walk out of my life
If it doesn't feel right
And catch the next train
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain
I have come from so far away
Just to put a ring on your finger
You've said all that you've got to say
So please don't feel the need to linger
Walk out in the rain
Walk out with your dreams
Walk out of my life
If it doesn't feel right
And catch the next train
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain
It's rainin' inside of the city
My poor feet have walked 'til they're sore
If you don't want my love, it's a pity
I guess I can't see you no more
Walk out in the rain
Walk out with your dreams
Walk out of my life
If it doesn't feel right
And catch the next train
Oh, darling, walk out in the rain

A Stranger In Paree
A Stranger In Paree
Composer(s): Harry Warren
Performer(s): Rudy Vallée
If you're lonely, you're in danger
If you happen to be a stranger in gay Paree
Ah! oui, oui
There are lots of famous places you'll never get to see
When a pair of lips "Bonjour" you
And two beautiful eyes "Amour" you
You'll wonder why
So did I
I met her at the Martinique
There isn't much to tell
She was so chicque and I was weak
And so, I fell for the Mademoiselle
And discovered that she was from New Rochelle
Her French was simply frightful
But her kisses were so delightful
How she fooled me
Ah! oui, oui
If you're lonely, you're in danger
If you happen to be a stranger in gay Paree

Walk On The Water
Walk On The Water
Performer(s): Creedence Clearwater Revival
Late last night, I went for a walk
Down by the river near my home
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes
And I swear I'll never leave my home again
I saw a man walking on the water
Coming right at me from the other side
Calling out my name; "Do not be afraid"
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain
I don't want to go; I don't want to go
No, no, no, no, no...
I don't want to go
Mmmmmmm...

A Stranger In My Arms
Composer(s): Charlotte White - Patsy Cline - Mary Lu Jeans
Performer(s): Patsy Cline
Tho' you try you can't conceal it
Love has only brought us storms
I can see your eyes revealin'
You're a stranger in my arms
Say goodbye to our romancing
We have lost the flame that warms
Tho' I hold you while we're dancing
You're a stranger in my arms
Every story has an ending
This is where our story ends
Please don't hurt me by pretending
For lovers never can be friends
Thru the years your love will haunt me
And I'll dream about your charms
Still I know you'll never want me
You're a stranger in my arms
Every story has an ending
This is where our story ends
Please don't hurt me by pretending
For lovers never can be friends
Thru the years your love will haunt me
And I'll dream about your charms
Still I know you'll never want me
You're a stranger in my arms
You're a stranger in my arms

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
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)
