Dancer With Bruised Knees
Dancer With Bruised Knees
Composer(s): Anna McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle
When I first knew her she was a dancer
She'd leap (confidently)
Knowing that should she fall
It would be into the arms of her partner
She never failed to get a curtain call
For years we had been one with the stars
A Pas de Deux of reknown
I'd leap and he'd catch me on the fly
And gently he'd put me down
The heights that I reached were dangerous
And I saw my partner strain
And felt when I had landed
His strength was on the wane
Back before my knees were blue
Backs broke bending in a step for two
For years we had been one with the stars
A Pas de Deux of reknown
I'd leap and he'd catch me on the fly
But once I came crashing down
Now I'm a weaver
Wall-hangings if you please
In everyone I feature
A dancer with bruised knees
Doop do.....

Dans une taverne du vieux Londres
Où se retrouvaient des étrangers
Nos voix criblées de joie montaient de l'ombre
Et nous écoutions nos cœurs chanter
C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La, la, la...
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
Et puis sont venus les jours de brume
Avec des bruits étranges et des pleurs
Combien j'ai passé de nuits sans lune
À chercher la taverne dans mon cœur
Tout comme au temps des fleurs
Où l'on vivait sans peur
Où chaque jour avait un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La, la, la ....
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
Je m'imaginais chassant la brume
Je croyais pouvoir remonter le temps
Et je m'inventais des clairs de lune
Où tous deux nous chantions comme avant
C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La, la, la ....
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
Et ce soir je suis devant la porte
De la taverne où tu ne viendras plus
Et la chanson que la nuit m'apporte
Mon cœur déjà ne la connaît plus
C'était le temps des fleurs
On ignorait la peur
Les lendemains avait un goût de miel
Ton bras prenait mon bras
Ta voix suivait ma voix
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel
La la la...
On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel

Dance: Ten, Looks: Three
Dance: Ten, Looks: Three
Composer(s): Marvin Hamlisch; Edward Kleban
Originally performed by: Pamela Blair & Cast
Covered by various other artists
Val:
But after a while I caught on...
I mean, I saw what they were hiring!
I also swiped my dance card once after an audition
and on a scale of one to ten, they gave me for dance: Ten, for looks: Three! Why?
Dance: Ten; Looks: Three
And I'm still on unemployment
Dancing for my own enjoyment
That ain't it, kid!
That ain't it, kid!
"Dance: Ten, Looks: Three"
Is like to die!
Left the theatre and
Called the doctor
For my appointment to buy...
Tits and ass
Bought myself a fancy pair
Tightened up the derriere
Did the nose with it
All that goes with it
Tits and ass!
Had the bingo-bongos done
Suddenly I'm getting National tours!
Tits and ass won't get you jobs
Unless they're yours!
Didn't cost a fortune neither
Didn't hurt my sex life either!
Flat and sassy
I would get the strays and losers
Beggars really can't be choosers
That ain't it, kid!
That ain't it, kid!
Fix the chassis
"How do you do!"
Life turned into an
Endless medley of
"Gee, it had to be you"
Why?
Tits and ass!
Where the cupboard once was bare
Now you knock and someone's there
You have got 'em, hey
Top to bottom, hey!
It's a gas!
Just a dash of silicone
Shake your new maracas and your fine!
Tits and ass can change your life
They sure changed mine!
Val:
You're all looking at my tits now, aren't you?
Sheila:
They aren't that big
Val:
I heard that, you bitch
I didn't want 'em like yours
I wanted them in proportion
Sheila:
Well, you got what you paid for
Connie:
I wouldn't mind having just one of yours
Val:
Well go out and buy 'em
Have it all done!
Honey, take my word
Grab a cab, c'mon
See the wizard on
Park and Seventy-Third
For
Tits and ass
Orchestra and balcony
What they want is whatcha see
Keep the best of you
Do all the rest of you
Pits or class
I have never seen it fail
Debutante or chorus girl or wife
Tits and ass
Yes, tits and ass
Have changed...
My...
Life...

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

An Irishman's Idea Of Love
An Irishman's Idea Of Love
Composer(s): Allan Roberts - Doris Fisher
Performer(s): The Happy Gang Orch.
When a Frenchman is courting a mademoiselle
He takes her to dinner at some fine hotel
He spends all the salary he worked for that week
And if he is lucky, he kisses her cheek
But an Irishman's idea of love
Is to meet the girl he's dreamin' of
Compliment her eyes of blue
And the divil if he doesn't mean it too
Fills her full of a line of blarney
That he learned in ole Killarney
Gets the kiss so easily
That cost the poor Frenchman his week's salary

An Invitation To North America
An Invitation To North America
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Sam Richards & Tish Stubbs
There is many a family of late that has gone
Away to New York, father, mother and son
Let us likewise follow and make no delay
For 'tis much cheaper living in North Americay
The farmers in England sell there corn so dear
They do what they can to starve the poor here
They send it to France, which sure is not right
To feed other nations that against us do fight
Come all you bold Britons, wherever you be
I would have you draw near and listen to me
The times they get harder in England ev'ry day
It is much better living in North Americay
Why do we stay here for to be their slaves
When in Nova Scotia we can do as we please
For who'd work in England for ten pence a day
When we can get four shillings in North Americay
The landlords in England do raise the lands high
It forces some farmers abroad for to fly
If times grow no better, I'll venture to say
Poor men had better go to North Americay
Observe then good people what to you I've told
What a plague is in England by short weight of gold
With bad silver and halfpence, believe what I say
There's nothing of this in North Americay
The priests in England come into the field
They tithe as they please, you dare not but yield
This is no great hardship, you believe, I dare say
But we'll have no taxes in North Americay
There's many a farmer you very well know
That went to New York but a few years ago
Have bought land and houses; who now would here stay
But go and make fortunes in North Americay
Manufactures in England are grown very bad
For weavers and combers no work's to be had
But let's go abroad, I dare venture to say
They'll find us employment in North Americay
So here's a health to George our gracious king
I hope none will take amiss the song that I sing
Then lads and lasses now come away
And ship yourselves to North Americay

My grandpa, he's ninety five
And he keeps on dancin', he's still alive
My grandma, she's ninety two
She loves to dance and sing some too
I don't know but I've been told
If you keep on dancing you'll never grow old
{Refrain}
Come on, darlin', put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, all night long
I'm a hard-workin' man, I'm a son of a gun
I've been workin' all week in the noonday sun
The wood's in the kitchen and the cow's in the barn
I'm all cleaned up and my chores are all done
Take my hand and come along
Let's go out and have some fun
{Refrain}
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, all night long
Come on, darlin', don't look that way
Don't you know when you smile I've got to say
You're my honey pumpkin lover, you're my heart's delight
Don't you want to go out tonight
You're such a pretty lady, you're such a sweet girl
When you dance it brightens up my world
{Refrain}

An Innocent Man
An Innocent Man
Composer(s): Billy Joel
Performer(s): Billy Joel
and multiple other artists
Some people stay far away from the door
If there's a chance of it opening up
They hear a voice in the hall outside
And hope that it just passes by
Some people live with the fear of a touch
And the anger of having been a fool
They will not listen to anyone
So nobody tells them a lie
I know you're only protecting yourself
I know you're thinking of somebody else
Someone who hurt you
But I'm not above
Making up for the love
You've been denying you could ever feel
I'm not above doing anything
To restore your faith if I can
Some people see through the eyes of the old
Before they ever get a look at the young
I'm only willing to hear you cry
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
Some people say they will never believe
Another promise they hear in the dark
Because they only remember too well
They heard somebody tell them before
Some people sleep all alone every night
Instead of taking a lover to bed
Some people find that it's easier to hate
Than to wait anymore
I know you don't want to hear what I say
I know you're gonna keep turning away
But I've been there and if I can survive
I can keep you alive
I'm not above going through it again
I'm not above being cool for a while
If you're cruel to me I'll understand
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man
You know you only hurt yourself out of spite
I guess you'd rather be a martyr tonight
That's your decision
But I'm not below
Anybody I know
If there's a chance of resurrecting a love
I'm not above going back to the start
To find out where the heartache began
Some people hope for a miracle cure
Some people just accept the world as it is
But I'm not willing to lay down and die
Because I am an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man

Je Bent Niet Hip
Je Bent Niet Hip
Performer(s): Patricia Paay
Je bent niet hip, je bent niet vlot
Je ouwe fiets die is altijd kapot
Je bent niet rijk, je bent niet knap
Je drinkt geen bier maar tomatensap
Je hebt een baan waarvan je zegt
Hij is niet goed en hij is niet slecht
Maar jij bent lief en reuze trouw
Jij hoort bij mij en ik bij jou
Ja, wie had dat ooit gedacht
Hoe kan zoiets bestaan?
Nee, dat had ik nooit verwacht
Dat ik met jou zou gaan
Ik vond je altijd reuze sloom
Maar nu ben jij de man
Waarvan ik elke nacht weer droom
Al denk ik nu en dan
Je bent niet hip, je bent niet vlot
Je ouwe fiets die is altijd kapot
Je bent niet rijk, je bent niet knap
Je drinkt geen bier maar tomatensap
Je hebt een baan waarvan je zegt
Hij is niet goed en hij is niet slecht
Maar jij bent lief en reuze trouw
Jij hoort bij mij en ik bij jou
'k Weet nog dat het zo begon
't Was op een dag in maart
Jij kwam, jij zag en overwon
En ik was van de kaart
Ik stond gewoon totaal perplex
Want jij gaf mij een zoen
En zei: "Meid jij hebt zoveel seks
Ik kan er niets aan doen"
Je bent niet hip, je bent niet vlot
Je ouwe fiets die is altijd kapot
Je bent niet rijk, je bent niet knap
Je drinkt geen bier maar tomatensap
Je hebt een baan waarvan je zegt
Hij is niet goed en hij is niet slecht
Maar jij bent lief en reuze trouw
Jij hoort bij mij en ik bij jou
Jalalala jalalala jalalalalalalalalala
Lalalala lalalala lalalalalalala

Composer(s): Jimmy Kennedy
Performer(s): Ambrose Orch.
and multiple other artists
An hour never passes but I think of you
An hour never passes but I miss you too
Every day from dawning till the moon rides low
You’re beside me darling everywhere I go
An hour never passes, the clock never chimes
But I keep recalling those old happy times
Without my prayer for you in each lonely sigh
An hour never passes by
Without my prayer for you in each lonely sigh
An hour never passes by

Dance With My Father
Dance With My Father
Composer(s): Richard Marx; Luther Vandross
Originally performed by: Luther Vandross
Covered by various other artists
Back when I was a child
before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
and dance with my mother and me and then
Spin me around 'til I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure I was loved
If I could get another chance, another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way, I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
Then finally make me do just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he would be gone from me
If I could steal one final glance, one final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
'Cause I'd love, love, love
To dance with my father again
Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how my mother cried for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me
I know I'm praying for much too much
But could you send back the only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But dear Lord she's dying
To dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep and this is all I ever dream

An Everlasting Love
An Everlasting Love
Composer(s): Barry Gibb
Performer(s): Andy Gibb
I've been here all your life
Watching your crying game
You were the heaven in my lonely world
And he was your sun
And your rain
I was losing you before
I ever held you tight
Before you ever held me in your arms
And I won't make you blue
And maybe an everlasting love will do
Ah, we got an everlasting love
So tall, so wide, so high
Above the rumble of thunder down below
It's your love I need,
It's the only show
And it's you want an everlasting dream
Can take us anywhere are the tears of yesterday
We killed the pain,
We blew away the memories
Of the tears we cried
And an everlasting love will never die
Take me out of the cold, give me what I've hungered for
If it's the pleasure of taking
My heart that you need, then it only makes me
Love you more
I was yours before
The stars were born and you were mine
I could have saved you all the pain you knew
And I won't make you cry
And maybe an everlasting love can try
