Non Cercarmi
Non Cercarmi

((French Version: Toi L'ami (by Richard Anthony) - 1964))
Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Vito Pallavicini
Performer(s): Ricky Gianco - 1965
Se per te e' finita
Perche' mi cerchi
Che cosa pretendi da me
E il mio amor non c'e' piu'
Ma non e' colpa mia
Sei tu che hai voluto cosi'
Tutto cio che ti spinge
A fare la pace
E' solo l'orgoglio che hai
Non ti sai rassegnare
Che io pensi ad un'altra
Vuoi aver
Tutto il mondo per te
Non cercarmi
No non t'amo piu'
Oh non cercarmi
Non pensare a me
Se per te e' finita
Perche' mi cerchi
Che cosa pretendi da me
Se vorrai se vorrai
Tu sarai un'amica
Perche' e' finita con te
Oh non cercarmi
No non t'amo piu'
Oh no non cercarmi
Non pensare a me
Oh no non cercarmi
Oh no no non cercarmi
Non cercarmi
No non pensare a me

Chorus:
Why can't we be friends

I remembered you when you drank my wine
Chorus
I've seen you walking down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around
Chorus
I paid my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time
Chorus
The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony
Chorus
I'd kind of like to be the President
So I can show you how your money's spent
Chorus
Sometimes I don't speak right
But did I know what I'm talking about
Chorus
I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the Mafi-a

Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney - Daniel Hortis
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1964
and multiple other artists
Toi l'ami de nos vingt ans
Demain tu t'en iras
Avec un amour à ton bras
N'oublie pas pour autant les amis d'autrefois
Souviens-toi de nous parfois
Entre nous qui restons là
Souvent nous parlerons de toi
Et des joies du bon temps
Tu seras malgré toi près de nous
Car ton nom chante avec nos souvenirs d'enfants
Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour
Tu es loin, bien loin déjà, aussi tout est changé
Nos cœurs sont trop lourds pour chanter
Il nous semble avec toi perdre un peu de la vie
Et c'est vrai car nos vingt ans s'enfuient
Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour
Tout s'efface
Dès que vient l'amour
La vie passe
À chacun son tour

Why Can't The English?
Why Can't The English?
Dutch & Spanish Titles:
Is Hier Nu Niemand; Por Qué No Pueden?
Composer(s): Alan Jay Lerner; Frederick Loewe
Performer(s): Rex Harrison;
and various other artists
Harrison:
Look at her, a victim of the gutters
Condemned by every syllable she utters
By right she should be taken out and hung
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue
(Meow!) Heavens, what a sound!
This is what the English population
Calls an elementary education
Bystander:
Come sir, I think you've picked a poor example
Harrison:
Did I?
Hear them down in Soho Square
Dropping "H's" everywhere
Speaking any way they like
You sir, did you go to school?
Bystander:
Whatta tyke me for, a fool?
Harrison:
No one taught him "take" instead of "tyke"
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse
Hear a Cornishman converse
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat
Just like this one
(Garn!)
I ask you sir, what sort of word is that?
It's Au and Garn that keep her in her place
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak
This verbal class distinction by now should be antique
If you spoke sir, instead of the way you do
Why you might be selling flowers too
Bystander:
I beg your pardon
Harrison:
An Englishman's way of speaking absolutely classifies him
The moment he talks he makes some other Englishman despise him
One common language I'm afraid we'll never get
Oh why can't the English learn to set a good example
to people who's English is painful to your ears?
The Scotch and the Irish leave you close to tears
There are even places where English completely disappears
Well, in America they haven't used it for years
Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian, the Greeks are taught their Greek
In France every Frenchman knows his language from A to Zed
The French don't care what they do, actually
As long as they pronounce properly
Arabians learn Arabian with the speed of summer lightning
And Hebrews learn it backward which is absolutely frighening
If you use proper English you're regarded as a freak
Oh why can't the English, why can't the English learn to speak!

All My Love's Laughter
All My Love's Laughter
Composer(s): Jimmy Webb
Performer(s): Jimmy Webb
and multiple other artists
All my love's laughter
All my love's faces
She comes in the morning
Her cloak in her arms
She's following after
The King of all Places
And your tenderest warnin'
Could bruise all her charm
But don't lose your heart
To that beautiful sinner
Who walks without shining a light
She stands in the shade
And the sun is there in her
But you'll never know til it's night
All my love's softness
All my love's graces
She carries all things
In her tiny white glove
She hides all her lostness
In satins and laces
And everyone says
She's searching for sweet love
But don't try to hold on
To Satan's proud lady
Who stands with her flock
all alone on the hill
Her stockings are hung
And her eyes are so shady
She's winning, and you never will

Why Can't It Wait Till Morning?
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins;
Fourplay; Synthesizer Rock Orch.
We can talk about it then
'Cause I've had a drink too many
And my troubles, well I ain't got any
Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
Things will seem much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just want you lying here with me
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice
Well I don't want to think about what we've said
And I don't want to know why we hurt ourselves
'Cause I just want to hold you so close to me
It'll take care of itself and I want to sleep
So why can't it wait 'til next time?
'Cause that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
You're going nowhere without me
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh, so nice for you

Performer(s): Patti Page
and multiple other artists
All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true
All my sighs will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last
My heart belongs to you
Oh, don't you ever let me go
You thrill me so
I can see, as I recall my life
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Bow, caballero, and tip your sombrero
To your senorita, the lovely Chiquita
She's waiting so long
For you and your song
While you are playing, her heart will be swaying
And she will surrender her kisses so tender
To you she will cling
The moment that you sing
All my love, I give you all my love
The skies may fall, my love
But I will still be true
All my sighs will disappear at last
Now that you're here at last
My heart belongs to you
Oh, don't you ever let me go
You thrill me so
I can see, as I recall my life
I've waited all my life
To give you all my love
Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay

Why Can't I Have You
Why Can't I Have You
Composer(s): Ric Ocasek
Performer(s): The Cars
A dreamy lips, set in motion, flashing
Ah breathless hush, poundin’ soft, lasting
Oh glossy mouth, a taste untamed, moving
Carousel, up and down
Just like you
Oh baby
Just one more time to touch you
Just one more time to tell you
You’re on my mind
Baby, why can’t I have you?
You’re breakin’ my heart in two
You know what I’m goin’ through
Oh baby, why can’t I have you?
Oh candy smile, all the while, glinting
Your eyes like mica, a lethal pout, hinting
(felt the pressure)
Oo and I felt the pressure, tight and warm, softly striking
(oo tripped and stumbled)
Oo I tripped and stumbled
I cling forever
I go all night
Oh baby
Just one more time to touch you
Just one more time to tell you
I’m not so blind
Baby, why can’t I have you?
Always breakin’ my heart in two
You know what I’m goin’ through
Uh oh baby, why can’t I have you?
(baby) oh baby (why can’t I have you? ) why can’t I have you?
You know what I’m goin’ through
(you’re breakin’ my heart in two)
You’re breakin’ my heart, breakin’ my heart
(you know what I’m gonna do)
(you’re breakin’ my heart) breakin’ my heart
(baby) oh baby (why can’t I have you? ) I need you
(you know what I’m goin’ through)
You’re breakin’ my heart (you’re breakin’ my heart in two)
Oh baby, I need you so much, I need you, touch
(you know what I’m gonna do)
(you’re breakin’ my heart)
(baby) oh baby (why can’t I have you?)
(you know what I’m goin’ through)

All My Love (Dr. Feelgood)
All My Love
Composer(s): Wilko Johnson
Performer(s): Dr. Feelgood
Well well well
I thought I heard it raining
All my love trouble in my mind
Lay awake all night
Till the morning light came shining through the blind
Well well well
How long did money hold you
If all my love can't keep you by my side
Everything you need lying at your feet
And you won't be satisfied
Big bell ring
Somebody gotta go now
Rolling slow drivers dressed in black
As they passin' through start to think of you
And all my love comes back
All my love
Gone but not forgotten
Hate you now when I think of what you've done
I can't fool myself using someone else
You're the only one

Why Can't He Be You
Why Can't He Be You
Composer(s): Hank Cochran
Performer(s): Patsy Cline;
Norah Jones; Loretta Lynn; Reba McEntire
He takes me to the places you and I used to go
He tells me over and over that he loves me so
He gives me love that I never got from you
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you
He never fails to call and tell me I'm on his mind
And I'm lucky to have such a guy; I hear it all the time
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me, too, his love is true
Why can't he be you
He's not the one who dominates my mind and soul
And I should love him so, 'cause he loves me, I know
But his kisses leave me cold
He sends me flowers, calls on the hour, just to prove his love
And my friends say when he's around, I'm all he speaks of
And he does all the things that you would never do
He loves me too, his love is true
Why can't he be you

I've done all I can do

All my love... (repeat)

I got a cute little gal in ev'ry eastern town from Boston to St Lou
There's some that I don't even know but I'm a lookin' forward to
'Cause I like my women everwhere I go
So roll on big wheels don't you roll so slow
Peggy Ann is a waitin' in Memphis and Betty Lou in Maine
I got a good ole gal in Knoxville but man I forgot her name
But not her figure I remember that
Yeah I'm a kiss stealin' a wheelin' deelin' a truck drivin' son of a gun
Well there goes Joe flyin' low pickin' up his time
But where I sit I don't believe you'd say I'm wastin' mine
I'm movin' faster than a Jimmy-8
If you think I'm losin' time you're runnin' late
I got a steady little baby waitin' back home for me
But there are six more towns to go till I'm back in Tennessee
And six more women at least I know
Yeah I'm a kiss stealin' a wheelin' deelin' a truck drivin' son of a gun

Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard?
Why Build A Wall 'Round A Graveyard?
Composer(s): Leslie Sarony
Performer(s): Leslie Sarony;
and various other artists
Here's a contortionist, Filleted Pete
Tried only too well to make both his ends meet
Charlie the taximan lies over there
Wherever he's gone to, he'll say it's "No Fare"
Here lies a heavyweight under the ground
With a circular saw only lasted one round
Here lies a butcher named Timothy Wights
A nice piece of skirt quickly put out his lights
R - I - P, that's another good feller gone west
R - I - P, with a blinkin' great slab on his chest
So......
Why build a wall 'round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get out?
They say its a beautiful haven of rest
But you know that you'll be a permanent guest
So, why build a wall round a graveyard
When nobody wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get in?
Why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get out?
"You're not dead but sleeping", they put it with care
But no body calls you at nini o'clock there
So, why build a wall round a graveyard
When no body wants to get out?

Vietnam Blues
Vietnam Blues
Composer(s): Kris Kristofferson
Performer(s): Dave Dudley; Autry Inman; Robert Pete Williams
I was out on the leave at the time just duckin' the fog nosin' around like a hungry dog
In that crazy place called Washington DC
I saw a crowd of people on the White House lawn all carrying signes about VietNam
So I went over to see what was goin' on
It was a strange looking bunch but then I never could understand some people
Oh a fellow came to me with a list in his hand he said we're gatherin' names to send
The telegram of sympathy then he handed me a pen
I said I reckon this is goin' to kids and wives
My friends over there who're givin' their lives
He said ah ah buddy this is goin' to Ho-Chi-Min
I said Ho-Chi who he said Ho-Chi-Min people's leader North VietNam
Oh I wasn't really sure I was hearin' him right
I though I'd better move before I got in a fight
Cause my ears were hurtin' and my ball started hit my lick
Then I thought of another telegram that I've just read
Tellin' my buddy's wife that her husband was dead
It wasn't too long till I was feelin' downright sick
Another held the sign that said we won't fight
I thought to myself boy ain't that right
To leave a lot of our soldiers die instead
I said it's a shame that every man who ever died up there that far off land
Was dyin' for that you wouldn't have to wake up dead
Course he looked at me like I was kinda crazy just another warmonger
Oh I left that place and I went downtown and hit first bar that I'd found
To cool myself off and pacify my brain
You see I was on orders to VietNam little old place just north to Saigon
Had about an hour to catch myself a plane
So all I mean to say is I don't like dyin' either but man I ain't gonna craw

Why Baby Why
Composer(s): Darrell Edwards; George Jones; Leon Payne
Originally performed by: George Jones
Covered by various other artists
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
But tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well I got a crow I wanna pick with you
Just like last time when the feathers flew
You're runnin' wild a-kickin' up your heels
A-leavin' me home with a hand full of bills
I can't live without you and you know it's true
But there's no livin' with you, so what'll I do
I'm goin' honky tonkin', get as tight as I can
And maybe by then you'll 'preciate a good man
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
No, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Well, now I don't know, but I've heard say
That ev'ry little dog is a-gonna have his day
You'd better pay attention, don't you dare forget
'Cause I'm just a little bitty puppy yet
Well, I caught you honky tonkin' with my best friend
The thing to do was leave you, but I should'a left then
Now I'm too old to leave you, but I still get sore
When you come home a-feelin' for the knob on the door
Tell me why baby, why baby, why baby, why
You make me cry baby, cry baby, cry baby, cry
Lord, I can't help but love you 'til the day that I die
So tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why
Tell me, why baby, why baby, why baby, why

All My Love (Al Jolson)
All My Love
Composer(s): Harry Akst - Saul Chaplin - Al Jolson
Performer(s): Al Jolson
All my love is for you alone
It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown!
All my love is for ever new
It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!
As the years unfold, they can only bring
Just the constant joy of an endless Spring
And our dreams untold that are so ideal
Will all fade as we make them real!
I promise this by the stars above
Hear that I'll spend my life giving you all my love!
All my love is for you alone
It will still keep growing when most other loves have flown!
All my love is for ever new
It was just created, my dear, to be shared with you!
