You've Got What I Like


You've Got What I Like
Composer(s): Les Chadwick;
Les Maguire; Freddie Marsden; Gerry Marsden
Performer(s): Gerry & The Pacemakers



Your smile can make the darkness turn to light
Your eyes make gold & silver not so bright
Your hair's as soft as a summer night
You've got what I like

You say the things I always wanted to
You walk just like an angel out of the blue
And when you hold me, my life starts anew
You've got what I like

You've got the kind of lips I long to kiss
And when we go on dates now, endless bliss
You make a desert island come to life
You make the whole wide world seem free from strife
You are the one I'm gonna make my wife
You've got what I like
You've got what I like
You've got what I like

You've got the kind of lips I long to kiss
And when we go on dates now, endless bliss
You make a desert island come to life
You make the whole wide world seem free from strife
You are the one I'm gonna make my wife
You've got what I like
You've got what I like
You've got what I like

Brigade Des Stups


Brigade Des Stups
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Pierpoljak



À la brigade des stups
J'suis tombé sur des cops
Ils ont cherché mon spliff
Ils ont trouvé mon paf

À la brigade des stups
Y'a un ancien mataf
Qu'est complètement louf
Toujours à moitié paf

À la brigade des stups
Idée fixe la chnouf
J'ai les moules je flippe
C'est pas mon genre de trip

À la brigade des stups
C'qu'ils voulaient c'est un scoop
V'la que l'ancien mataf
M'demande un autographe

À la brigade des stups
Je leur dis j'fume que les troupes
Je suis la Betty Boop
Du cinématographe

You've Got To Learn


You've Got To Learn ((Adapted from: Il Faut Savoir (Charles Aznavour) - 1961)) Composer(s): Charles Aznavour - Marcel Stellman Performer(s): Charles Aznavour - 2005

Versions In Other Languages: 1962 - Mijn Hart Bemint Teveel (Conny Vandenbos) 1962 - Devi Sapere (Gino Paoli) 2007 - Debes Saber (Charles Aznavour)



You've got to learn to show a happy face
Although you're full of misery
You mustn't show a trace of sadness
And never look for sympathy

You've got to learn, although it's very hard
The way of pocketing your pride
And sometimes face humiliation
While you are burning up inside

Facing reality is awful hard to do
When it seems happiness is gone
You've got to learn, to hide your tears
And tell your heart life must go on

You've got to learn, to leave the table
When love is no longer being served
Just show them all that you are able
To leave without saying a word

You've got to learn, to hide your sorrow
And go on living as before
What good is thinking of tomorrow
Who knows what it may have in store?

You've got to learn, to be much stronger
At times your head should rule your heart
You've got to learn, from hard experience
And listen to the voice and sometimes pay the price

But I won't learn to live
With a broken heart

Kookie Little Paradise


Kookie Little Paradise
Composer(s): Lee Pockriss - Bob Hilliard
Performer(s): Jo Ann Campbell



Jukebox playing in the jungle
No charge, absolutely free
Soft drinks bubbling down the mountain
To the Caribbean Sea

What a kookie little paradise
What a kookie little paradise
Never was an island half as nice
As my kookie little paradise

Sports cars, one for everybody
No speed limit on the beach
But there's lots of education
Making love is what they teach

What a kookie little paradise
What a kookie little paradise
Never was an island half as nice
As my kookie little paradise

Boyfriends, any girl can have one
Girldfriends, one for every guy
Ice cream loaded with bananas
And there's always pizza pie

What a kookie little paradise
What a kookie little paradise
Never was an island half as nice
As my kookie little paradise

That's my kookie little paradise
I love my kookie little paradise
What a kookie little paradise

You've Got To Hide Your Love Away


You've Got To Hide Your Love Away
((French Version: Tu Ferais Mieux De L'oublier (Eddy Mitchell) - 1965)) Composer(s): John Lennon - Paul McCartney First release: The Beatles - 1965 Covered by multiple other artists



Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If she's gone I can't go on
Feelin' two-foot small

Everywhere people stare
Each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

How can I even try
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in

How could she say to me
Love will find a way
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say

Hey you've got to hide your love away
Hey you've got to hide your love away

A Kona Hema 'O Ka Lani


A Kona Hema 'O Ka Lani
(Traditional)



At South Kona, the king
Observes Ka`awaloa
Knows the peace of `Ehu
Majestic are you, o king

Going to Hawai`i
To take care of the districts
In plain view the mountaintops
Seen are the cloud banks

At mid-tide on the sea
On the whispering sea
Speaking of Kawaihae
Stirred by the sudden shower

The wind increases
The sea rises
The sea of Mahukona
The wind named `Apa`apa`a

Crowded is Kohala
To the mouth with people
Tell the theme
The royal Kalakaua

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught


You've Got To Be Carefully Taught Composer(s): Oscar Hammerstein II - Richard Rodgers Performer(s): Billy Tabbert and multiple other artists



You've got to be taught
To hate and fear
You've got to be taught
From year to year
It's got to be drummed
In your dear little ear
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made
And people whose skin is a diff'rent shade
You've got to be carefully taught

You've got to be taught before it's too late
Before you are six or seven or eight
To hate all the people your relatives hate
You've got to be carefully taught

You've Got That Thing


You've Got That Thing
Composer(s): Cole Porter
Performer(s): Leo Reisman;
and various other artists



Since first you blew in like a boisterous breeze
I often have wondered, Dear
Why gentlemen all seem to fall on their knees
The moment that you appear
Your fetching physique is hardly unique
You're mentally not so hot
You'll never win laurels because of your morals
But I'll tell you what you've got.....

You've got that thing, you've got that thing
That thing that makes birds forget to sing
Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

You've got that charm, that subtle charm
That makes young farmers desert the farm
'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

You've got what Adam craved when he
With love for Eve was tortured
She only had an apple tree
But you, you've got an orchard

You've got those ways, those taking ways
That make me rush off to Cartier's
For a wedding ring, you've got that thing

You've got that thing, you've got that thing
That thing that makes vines prefer to cling
Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

You've got those looks, those fatal looks
That make book censors enjoy their books
'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

Just what made Samson be, for years
Delilah's lord and keeper
She only had a pair of shears
But you, you've got a reaper

You've got that power, that power to grip
That makes me map out a wedding trip
For the early spring, you've got that thing

You've got that thing, you've got that thing
That thing that makes bees refuse to sting
Yes, you've got that thing, that certain thing

You've got that kiss, that kiss that warms
That makes reformers reform reforms
'Cause you've got that thing, that certain thing

They tell us Trojan Helen's lips
Made every man her slavey
If her face launched a thousand ships
Well, yours could launch a navy

You've got that that love, and such a lot
It makes me think you're prepared for what
Any stork might bring, you've got that thing

A Kiss To Build A Dream On


A Kiss To Build A Dream On
(Adapted from: Moonlight On The Meadow - 1935)

Composer(s): Bert Kalmar - Harry Ruby - Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Louis Armstrong - 1951
and multiple other artists



Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on

Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on

When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
Weaving romances, making believe they're true

Give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on

When I'm alone with my fancies...I'll be with you
Weaving romances...making believe they're true

Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Ah sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on

You've Got Me Where You Want Me


You've Got Me Where You Want Me
Composer(s): Johnny Mercer; Harry Warner
Performer(s): Bing Crosby; Louis Armstrong;
Judy Garland; Jan Howard; Johnny Mercer



You’ve got me where you want me
And I hope you’re satisfied
You’ve got me where you want me
And you hardly even tried
One single look was all I took
And then, starry-eyed
I watched my poor old heart
Go on that roller-coaster ride
I say I won’t surrender
But I know darn well I will
My hopes are pretty slender
And my chances almost nil
Why should I try to alibi
Anyone can see
You’ve got me where you want me
And it’s where I wanna be

You’ve got me where you want me
And I hope you’re satisfied
You’ve got me where you want me
And you never even tried
A single look was all it took
And then, starry-eyed
I watched my poor heart
Go on that roller-coaster ride
I say I won’t surrender
But I know darn well you will
My hopes are pretty slender
And my chances almost nil
Why should I try to alibi
When anyone can see
You’ve got me where you want me
You’ve got me where you want me
And it’s where I wanna be
And it’s where I wanna be
And it’s where I wanna be

A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste


A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste
Composer(s): Andrew Lloyd Webber - Jim Steinman
Performer(s): Meat Loaf



If you listen, to the night
You can hear the darkness call
I can barely stand to wait
I can barely stand at all
C'mon closer to me now
It's like we're sharing the same skin
We gotta get out of this jail
We gotta let the future in
So many things in your life
That your bound to regret
Why didn't I do that?
Why didn't I do this?
So many chances you lost
That you'll never forget
Why didn't I make it?
Why didn't I take it right there?
The loneliest words you'll ever know
"if only-if only it was so"
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
"it could have been me"
"it could have been me"
The loneliest words you'll ever know
"if only-if only it was so"
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
"it could have been me"
"it could have been me"
You'll have to pay for it later
If you don't get it when it's going for free
Believe me -! believe me -!

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It's something that's always been so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

And one of these nights
You're gonna show me that you already know
There's a feast waiting for you
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!
You shouldn't tremble when we touch
There's no reason for these fears
It's a promise that was made
We've been promised this for years
I wanna show you it all
What to do and where and how!
'Cause we'll never be as young as we are right now
We'll never be as young as we are right now!

So many cries in the night
That you try to ignore
Why didn't I do this?
Why didn't I do that?
So many unanswered prayers
So many unopened doors
Why didn't I take it?
Why didn't I make it come true?
The loneliest words you'll ever know
"if only - if only it was so"
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
"it could have been me"
"it could have been me"
The loneliest words you'll ever know
"if only - if only it was so"
The emptiest words that there'll ever be
"it could have been me"
"it could have been me"
You'll have to pay for it later
If you don't get it when it's going for free!
Believe me! believe me, believe me!

A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
It's something that has always been so
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

And one of these nights
I'm gonna show you that you already know...
There's a feast waiting for you
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than, you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!
There's a feast waiting for you
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste!

Tyre tracks and broken hearts
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're going to find!
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're going to find!
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're going to find!
Tyre tracks and broken hearts
That's all we're leaving behind!
It doesn't matter what we're losing
It only matters what we're going to find!
There's a feast waiting for you
And you've never even gotten a taste
It's later than you think and
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste
A kiss is a terrible thing to waste

You've Got Me For Company


You've Got Me For Company
Composer(s): Billy Preston; Bruce Fisher
Performer(s): Martha Reeves; Billy Preston



Tiny tears are gathered in the corners of your eyes
The smile upon your lips is just your heartache in disguise
But lonely you need never be if you'd only realize
You've got me for company

I suppose that no one knows the sorrow you have felt
Lost among the shuffle as the cards of fate were dealt
Like lemon drops falling on the sun, all your emptiness will melt
You've got me for company

Chorus:
Oh no, little darlin', just be yourself with me
I'm on hand to understand you (this line x2 1st time, x3 2nd time)
You've got me for company

In the mornin' when you wake up, you won't be alone
I'll wake up beside you to hold you tight & keep you warm
We can take & we can make this empty house a home
You've got me for company

(chorus)

A Kiss In The Dark


A Kiss In The Dark
Composer(s): Victor Herbert - Buddy De Sylva
Performer(s): Shirley Jones & Jack Cassidy
and multiple other artists



I recall the mad delight of a lovely dance
And a strolling through the night trembling with romance
There he told me of my charms, how could I resist
Suddenly within his arms I ws held and kissed

Oh that kiss in the dark was, to him, just a lark
But to me was a thrill supreme
Just a kiss in the dark, but it kindled the spark
The awaking of love's young dream

Just a kiss in the dark, but it kindled the spark
The awaking of love's young dream

You’ve got me crying again
You’ve got me sighing again
What is this love all about?
I’m in, I’m out
Your kisses right from the start
Came from your lips, not your heart
You make me happy and then
Somebody new looks good to you
You’ve got me crying again
Just crying for you

A Kiss Can Change The World


A Kiss Can Change The World
Composer(s): Carl Eugster
Performer(s): Frankie Laine



(No...No...No)
(No...No...No)
(No...No...No)

When you say no to a little kiss
You may say no to a life of bliss
Remember this, my reluctant Miss
A kiss can change the world

So I say no, when if you say yes
A kiss may lead to a sweet caress
And that caress may make you confess
A kiss can change the world

Kisses bring caresses
Caresses bring romance
Romance can be the start of love
And there you've got the answer

When you're in love and the world you view
Is bright, excitin' and strangely new
So follow through and you'll see it's true
A kiss can change the world

So I say no, when if you say yes
A kiss may lead to a sweet caress
And that caress may make you confess
A kiss can change the world

Now kisses bring caresses
Caresses bring romance
Romance can be the start of love
And there you've got the answer

When you're in love and the world you view
Is bright, exciting and strangely new
So follow through, and you'll see it's true
A kiss can change the world

You got two lips that look so fine

you’ve got me in a spin
I like the spin I’m in

A Kind Of Magic


A Kind Of Magic
Composer(s): Roger Taylor
First release by: Queen - 1986
Covered by multiple other artists



It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
A kind of magic
One dream, one soul, one prize
One goal, one golden glance of what should be
It's a kind of magic
One shaft of light that shows the way
No mortal man can win this day
It's a mind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
It's a challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
The waiting seems eternity
The day will dawn of sanity
It's a kind of magic
There can be only one
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
This flame that burns inside of me
I'm hearing secret harmonies
It's a kind of magic
The bell that rings inside your mind
Is challenging the doors of time
It's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
This rage that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be will soon be
Will soon be gone
This is a kind of magic
Tere can only be one
This life that lasts a thousand years
Will soon be gone
Magic - it's a kind of magic
It's a kind of magic
Magic, magic, magic, magic
It's magic
It's a kind of magic

You've Got A Friend In Me Composer(s): Randy Newman First release by: Randy Newman - 1995 Covered by multiple other artists Versions In Other Languages: 1995 - Je Suis Ton Ami (by Charlélie Couture) 1995 - Je Bent Een Vriend Van Mij (by Arno)



You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
If you've got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and can see it through
Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do, it's me and you
Boy, and as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
