Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
Dancing With Tears In My Eyes
Composer(s): Joe Burke; Al Dubin
Performer(s): Ruth Etting
and various other artists
Those who dance and romance while they dance
They seem so happy and gay
Though they sing and they swing as they sway
Somehow I can't feel that way
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Dancing with somebody new
When it's you that my heart's calling to
Trying to smile once in a while
But I find it so hard to do
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
While the throng's in the spell of a song
My thoughts keep drifting to you
While each pair seems to share their affair
They're making me blue
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you
Dancing with somebody new
When it's you that my heart's calling to
Trying to smile once in a while
But I find it so hard to do
For I'm dancing with tears in my eyes
'Cause the boy/girl in my arms isn't you

Times Two, I Love You
Times Two, I Love You
Performer(s): The Three Chuckles
(How much is two times two)
(I wish that you could love me too)
Take everyone who's been in love
Times two
Plus every star that shines above
Times two
You'll have the answer, darling
When you're through
(How much times two)
(I love you)
Take every kiss beneath the moon
Times two
Plus all the wedding bells in June
Times two
Seems unbelievable
But still it's true
(How much times two)
(I love you)
(Twice the whole wide creation)
Fantastic, though it may be
It's just a rough estimation
(Of all you mean to me)
If I could take forever more
Times two
Plus every moment
Of my whole life through
How little time I'd have to prove to you
(How much times two)
I love you
(Twice the whole wide creation)
Fantastic, though it may be
It's just a rough estimation
(Of all you mean to me)
If I could take forever more
Times two
Plus every moment
Of my whole life through
How little time I'd have to prove to you
(How much times two)
I love you
(How much is two times two)
(I wish that you could love me too)

Dancing With My Shadow
Dancing With My Shadow
Composer(s): Woods
Performer(s): Billy Cotton; Ted Heath
Dancing with my shadow
Feeling kind of blue
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it’s you
Somewhere in a corner
Nothing else to do
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it’s you
In my dreams it seems that you’re my own again
Then I wake and find that I’m alone again
Dancing with my shadow
Feeling kind of blue
Dancing with my shadow
And making believe it’s you

[Velma Kelly]
Come on babe why don't we paint the town
and all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
and roll my stockings down
and all that jazz
Start the car I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
but the piano's hot!
It's justy a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
Slick your hair
And wear your buckle shoes
And all that Jazz
I hear that Father Dip
Is gonna blow the blues
And all that Jazz
Hold on, hon
We're gonna bunny hug
I bought some aspirin
Down at United Drug
I case you shake apart
And want a brand new start
To do that
[Roxie Hart] (imagine)
Jazz
[Velma Kelly]
Find a flask
We're playing fast and loose
And all that jazz
Right up here
Is where I store the juice
And all that jazz
Come on, babe
We're gonna brush the sky
I bet you luck Lindy
Never flew so high
'Cause in the stratosphere
How could he lend an ear
to all that jazz?
Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake
[Company]
And all that jazz
[Velma Kelly]
Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break
[Company]
And all that jazz
[Velma Kelly]
Show her where to park her girdle
Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle
[Company]
If she'd hear her baby's queer
[Velma Kelly]
For all that jazz
All that jazz
Come on, babe
Why Don't we paint
The town?
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
I'm gonna rouge my knees
And roll my stockings down
And all that jazz
And all that jazz
Start the car
I know a whoopee spot
Where the gin is cold
But the piano's hot
It's just a noisy hall
Where there's a nightly brawl
And all that jazz
No, I'm no one's wife
But, Oh, I love my life
And all
that
Jazz!
That Jazz!

Dancing With Mr. D
Dancing With Mr. D
Composer(s): Mick Jagger; Keith Richards
Performer(s): The Rolling Stones
Down in the graveyard
Where we have our tryst
The air smells sweet
The air smells sick
He never smiles
His mouth merely twists
The breath in my lungs
Feels clinging and thick
But I know his name
He's called Mr. D
And one of these days
He's gonna set you free
Human skulls is hanging
Right round his neck
The palms of my hands
Is clammy and wet
Lord
I was dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing, Lord
Keep your hands off me
Dancing with Mr. D
With Mr. D
With Mr. D
Will it be poison
Put in my glass
Will it be slow
Or will it be fast
The bite of a snake
The sting of a spider
A drink of Belladonna
On a Toussaint night
Hiding in a corner
In New York City
Lookin' down a forty-four
In West Virginia
Lord
I was dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing, Lord
Keep your hands off me
Dancing with Mr. D
With Mr. D
With Mr. D
One night I was dancing
With a lady in black
Wearing black silk gloves
And a black silk hat
She looked at me longing
With black velvet eyes
She gazed at me strange
All cunning and wise
Then I saw the flesh
Just fall off her bones
The eyes in her skull
Was burning like coals
Lord, have mercy
Fire and brimstone
I was dancing with Mrs. D
Lord
I was dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing so free
Dancing
Dancing...

Ancora Tu
Ancora Tu
Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol
Performer(s): Lucio Battisti
Covered by multiple other artists
Ancora tu, non mi sorprende, lo sai?
Ancora tu ma non dovevamo vederci più?
E come stai, domanda inutile
stai come me e ci scappa da ridere
amore mio, hai già mangiato o no?
Ho fame anch'io, e non soltanto di te
che bella sei sembri più giovane
o forse sei solo più simpatica!
Io lo so cosa tu vuoi sapere
nessuna, no, ho solo ripreso a fumare
sei ancora tu, purtroppo l'unica
ancora tu, l'incorreggibile
ma lasciarti non e' possibile
lasciarti non è possibile
lasciarti non è possibile
no, lasciarti non e' possibile!
Sei ancora tu, purtroppo l'unica
ancora tu l'incorreggibile
ma lasciarti non è possibile
no, lasciarti non è possibile
lasciarti non è possibile
no, lasciarti non è possibile!
Disperazione e gioia mia
sarò ancora tuo sperando che non sia follia
ma sia quel che sia
abbracciami amore mio, abbracciami amor mio
che adesso lo voglio anch'io!
Ancora tu, non mi sorprende, lo sai?
Ancora tu, ma non dovevamo vederci più?!?
E come stai domanda inutile
stai come me e ci scappa da ridere!

Dancing Shoes (Dan Fogelberg)
Dancing Shoes
Composer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Performer(s): Dan Fogelberg
Dancing shoes
On the wall above your bedside
Saw it all as we performed our pirouette
Fleshes fused
As the flicker of the candles
Threw upon the wall a single silhouette
Tu es dan ma coeur et dans ma téte
Dancing shoes
We have loved on distant beaches
Where the winter never reaches
There we fell
Dying swan
On the dawn you danced before me
Though your eyes were dark and stormy
I stood still
Qui peut dire le faux et le réel?
Dancing shoes
Though the distances divide us
There's a paradise inside us
We can't lose
Me and you
Dance a 'pas de deux'
Forever
And I pray you never
Shed your dancing shoes

Ancora In Volo
Ancora In Volo
Performer(s): Al Bano
La strada bagnata di pioggia
è una lama sottile che taglia la sera
e la spegne senza fare rumore
sul muro rimbalzano stanche
le nostre parole non sanno di sole
Nascosta nel buio riposa la malinconia
la spalmo sul pane la mangio
è proprio la mia
che strano sapore d'amore
Immenso amore mio
perduto in un pensiero
come un gabbiano stanco
io graffio ancora il cielo
per non morire in volo
forse domani mi sveglierò
con il sorriso della quiete
Avere bisogno di un piccolo stupido sogno
da accendere quando fa freddo la sera d'inverno
e bere in silenzio da solo
un bicchiere di vino
Guardare lontano lontano
chiamare un amico
soltanto così per parlare
cercando di non farsi del male
nel ricordare le nostre risate d'estate
Immenso amore mio
perduto in un pensiero
come un gabbiano stanco
io graffio ancora il cielo
per non morire in volo
forse domani mi sveglierò
col viso dolce della quiete

Dancing Shoes (Cliff Richard)
Dancing Shoes
Composer(s): Hank Marvin; Bruce Welch
Performer(s): Cliff Richard
You must have heard of a little bo peep
she was the gal with all the sheep
Well one day its sad to say
the sheep all went away
she was lonely she was blue
She was sad and a crying too
So I told her what to do
I said
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Dance a way your blues
A friend of mine had an accident
Laughed so hard off the wall he went
Humpty dumpty was his name
I guess you've heard the same
He was a lying on the ground
A bits and pieces all around
So I told him what to do
I said put on your dancing shoes
(chorus)
I'm sure you know about Jack and Jill
they're the ones that went up the hill
Jack fell down and broke his crown
Jill came tumbling after
What a noise their crying made
It was a ringing through the glade
so I told him what to do
And I changed their tears to laughter
(chorus)
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes
Put on your dancing shoes

Ancora Con Te
Ancora Con Te
Composer(s): Sergio Bardotti
Performer(s): Peppino Di Capri
Tu che sei tra le tante esperienze
Quella che ho ancora in mente
Quella che più mi preme
Tu che sei tra gli amori che ho avuto
Il più complicato il più semplice insieme
Tu che sei il mio sbaglio più giusto
E la più strana storia che ha scritto di me
E per questo per altro che anche
Così tornerei ancora con te
Tu che sei la bugia più sincera
La batuta più seria che io ho detto mai
Tu che sei il brivido più antico
Dell'amore più amico che ho avuto mai
Dei ricordi che mi fan compagnia
Tu sei la nostalgia che sempre vorrei
E così anche solo così sono ancora con te
Ho scordato che volevo scordare
Ho pensato che era sciocco pensare
Ho capito che non posso capire
Ma solo accetare che non ti avrò più
Tu che sei il mio grande rimedio
E la sola perfidia che accetterò
Tu che sei la mia pace l'affanno
Il più stupido ingano che mai soffrirò
Dei ricordi che mi fan compagnia
Tu sei la nostalgia che sempre vorrei
E così anche solo così sono acora con te

Dancing Queen
Dancing Queen
Composer(s): Benny Andersson; Stig Anderson; Björn Ulvaeus
Originally performed by: ABBA
Covered by various other artists
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music
Getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music
Everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen
You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you're gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Dancing queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
See that girl
Watch that scene
Dig in the dancing queen

Ancient Of The Old
Ancient Of The Old
Composer(s): Dash Crofts - Jim Seals
Performer(s): Seals & Croft
On a crisp as bacon morning
With the sunshine on my head
From the twilight of the dawning
Raised myself up from my bed
Fixed mine eyes upon a favour
Like no mortal eye behold
Then I chose to taste the flavour
Of the Ancient of the Old
On a chill as winter evening
In a doubtful circumstance
He stopped the evil breathing
Of a one time's serpent's chance
Old black sea with silver lining
how I long with all my soul
To quaff the mystic fragrance
Of the Ancient of the Old
From a red as amber burning
With the Chalice in my hand
I know there is no turning
I must now obey Command
At last Decree has destined
Now the mystery untold
Will shine in all it's glory
From the Ancient of the Old

Performer(s): Lionel Richie
and various other artists
What is happening here?
Something is going on
That's not quite clear
Somebody turn on the light
We're gonna have a party
It's starting tonight
Oh, what a feeling!
When we're dancing on he ceiling
The room is hot...that's good
some of my friends came
By from the neighbourhood
People were starting
To climb the walls
Ooh, it looks like everbody
Is having a ball
Everybody starts to lose control
When the music is right
If you see somebody hanging around
Don't ge upright
The only thing we wanna do tonight
Is go round and round
and turn upside down
Come on, let's get down
So come on, let's get loose
Don't hold back
Because it ain't no use
Hard to keep your feet on the ground
Because when we like to ball it
We only want to get down
what? You say what?
It's love now...
Just get started
Everybody clap your hands, come on
Everybody have sense...

Ancient History
Ancient History
Composer(s): Wayne Walker - Irene Stanton
Performer(s): Billy Walker
and multiple other artists
Just walk on out the door it's all over
Forgiving you is just a waste of time
I don't believe that I'll live to regret it
'Cause you're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine
So many times I've heard the same old story
Any fool can learn to read between the lines
And this time honey you've burned all your bridges
You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine
I've marked you down as just another lonely page
In the book of heartaches that you'll leave behind
'Cause I've found out I'm better off without you
You're ancient hist'ry to this heart of mine
I've marked you down...

Café Der Blije Harten
Café Der Blije Harten
Performer(s): Johan Verminnen
Met glazen boterhammen
En kriek zo zoet als wijn
Thuis wachten de madammen
Met soep die koud zal zijn
Met wilde commentaren
Over sport en politiek
Echt niet te evenaren
Zo verward maar sympathiek
Met woorden als gedichten
Op bierkaartjes in 't klein
Als SOS berichten
Gedrenkt in een moor azijn
In het café der blije harten
Aan dit gezellig plein
Waar de mannen die biljarten
Al jaren vrienden zijn
Met foto's aan de muren
En bekers in een kast
Met spreekwoorden die duren
Het krediet werd afgelast
Met een voetbalkalender
Wie waagt een pronostiek
En elk jaar in december
Wordt de spaarkas hier gelicht
Met berichten van de duiven
Van Quivrin tot in Noyonne
Met kaartingen en fuiven
En vluchten halve bol
In het café der blije harten
Aan dit gezellig plein
Waar de mannen die biljarten
Al jaren vrienden zijn
Met steeds dezelfde gasten
Ze kennen er je naam
En als de rekening niet paste
Mag je op de spiegel staan
Met geen verschil in standen
Iedereen is hier thuis
En maandag voor de klanten
Een rondje van het huis
In het café der blije harten
Aan dit gezellig plein
Waar de mannen die biljarten
Al jaren vrienden zijn
In het café der blije harten
Aan dit gezellig plein
Waar de mannen die biljarten
Al jaren vrienden zijn

Anche Un Uomo
Anche Un Uomo
Composer(s): Anselmo Genovese - Mike Bongiorno - Dina Tosi - Ludovico Peregrini
First performance/First release by: Mina - 1979
Ragazza mia ti spiego gli uomini
ti servirà quando li adopererai
son tanto fragili, fragili tu
maneggiali con cura
fatti di briciole, briciole che
l'orgoglio tiene su
ragazza mia sei bella e giovane
ma pagherai ogni cosa che otterrai
devi essere forte ma forte perché
dipenderà da te
tu sei l'amore il calore che avrà
la vita che vivrai
anche un uomo può sempre avere un'anima
ma non credere che l'userà per capire te
anche un uomo può essere dolcissimo
specialmente se al mondo oramai
gli resti solo tu
Ragazza mia adesso sai com'è
quell'uomo che mi porti via e vuoi per te

Dancing On The Ceiling (Frank Sinatra)
Dancing On The Ceiling
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers; Lorenz Hart
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and various other artists
The world is lyrical
Because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though he's some other place, his face I see
At night I creep in bed
And never sleep in bed
But look above in the air
And to my greatest joy, my love is there
He dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
Through the night
I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
But there's my love
Up above
I whisper, "Go away, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
He's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love

Listen Betty (I'm Singing Your Song)
Listen Betty (I'm Singing Your Song)
Composer(s): Tom T. Hall
Performer(s): Dave Dudley
A friend and I made one shot run to Knoxville one day
We got the apple pie and coffee hungries on the way
We pulled into a little truckstop just outside of town
Pretty soon the waitress came around
She said my name is Betty and I'd know you anywhere
I'd like to have a minute of your time if you don't care
Would you sing a song about me and the waitresses you've met
About the broken promises we get
Now listen Betty I'm singing your song about the drivers that have done you wrong
All I wanna do is lay the blame where it belongs listen Betty I'm singing your song
There's a broken heart for every truckstop on the right
There's a lonesome driver for each passing set of lights
Now I can't tell you how to love or tell you how to live all I can do is tell it like it is
There's a million waitresses all up and down the line
I've seen some that were laughin' and I've seen some that were cryin'
I've left some that were happy and I've left some that were blue
If you're a waitress here's a song for you
Now listen Betty...
The highway is a part of hell that never caught on fire
The driver is the kinda man that devil wouldn't hire
That's what you're sayin' Betty but you can't stand the heat
Quit that job and let those drivers be
Now listen Betty...
Now listen Betty...
