Are You Being Served, Sir?


Are You Being Served, Sir?
Performer(s): John Inman



(Grace Brothers - Men's Department)
(Mister Humphries - Are you free?)
I'm free!
(Forward please)

(Mind the doors - Oooopps!)
Are you being served, Sir?
I'm Humphries and I'm free
Are you being served, Sir?
What would you like to see?

If you'd like some swimming trunks
We've got them plain or spotty
We've also got some see-through
That really turn your....
(Beachwear!)
Oh, these again
There's plenty 'round the back
And if you'd like a bit of flash
Then try a plastic mac
(Oooopps!)

(Are you being served, Sir?)
I'm Humphries and I'm free
(Are you being served, Sir?)
What would you like to see?

(Going up!)
You'd like a suit, well suit yourself
Our three-piece is first class
I'll find one with tight trousers
That fit well 'round the....
(Kitchenwear!)
Oh, these'll do
I'll take them off the peg
Now hold your breath and brace yourself
Here comes the inside leg
(Oooopps!)

(Are you being served, Sir?)
I'm Humphries and I'm free
(Are you being served, Sir?)
There's no one here but me

Oh, where's me tape measure
I know, I left it in my Fair Isle drawers for safety
No one'd dare go in there
Not without my permission, anyway
Here we are
Hasn't it been a funny day for drying.... manners!

Your loose change, left or right
I must know for the cut
I'll measure you from your ankle
Right up to your....
(Menswear!)
I've one in tweed
Thank heavens, just your size
But first I'd like me hand back
It's trapped between your thighs
(Oooopps!)

(Are you being served, Sir?)
I'm Humphries and I'm free
(Are you being served, Sir?)
There's no one here but me

I'm sorry that this fitting room
Is rather dark and chilly
Just try these on and mind that zip
In case you catch your....
(Sportswear!)
Oh, goodness me
Look, someone's turned the key
And if we're trapped in here all night
I'm Humphries and I'm....
(Are you being served, Sir?)
(He's Humphries and he's free)
Got a kettle somewhere
We could have a nice cup of tea
(Are you being served, Sir?)
(What would you like to see?)
I could steam your hat for you
Your brim is a bit loose
(Are you being served, Sir?)
(He's Humphries and he's free)
I would shout for help
But I've got laryngitis
(Are you being served, Sir?)
(What would you like to see?)
(Are you being served, Sir?)
(He's Humphries and he's free)
Aren't you the umbrella and shoes
That came in last week
(Are you being served, Sir?)
(What would you like to see?) ...

Dieu Seul


Dieu Seul ((English Version: Love Me Forever (Marion Ryan)) Composer(s): Gary Lynes - Beverly Guthrie - Pierre Delanoë Performer(s): Dalida



Dieu seul
Pourrait me dire
Quand tout, quand tout semble fini
Pourquoi il veut détruire
Les cœurs qu'ils a unis
Pourquoi
Parmi des milles
C'est toi
Que j'ai trouvé
Pourtant dans la grande île
Il y en avait tant à aimer

Dieu seul
Pourrait me dire
Combien
D'autres aurores
L'amour qui nous déchire
Verra chanter nos corps
Mais Dieu
Sais t-il lui même
La haut
La haut si loin
Pourquoi c'est toi que j'aime
Et que j'aimerai
Jusqu'à la fin

Breaking In A Brand New Broken Heart


Breaking In A Brand New Broken Heart
Composer(s): Howard Greenfield - Neil Sedaka
Performer(s): Connie Francis; The Wilburn Brothers



If my friends should ask for me
Here at home is where I'll be
There's no one I care to see
I'm breakin' in a brand new broken heart
Now the heartaches have begun
There's a job that must be done
I'll have no time for havin' fun
I'm breakin' in a brand new broken heart
Oh, leave me alone, and let me cry, cry, cry
There are tears that must be cried
Till there are no more tears inside
Let me take a count of ten
Then I'll bounce right back again
Let me be alone till then
I'm breakin' in a brand new broken heart
I'm breakin' in a brand new broken heart

Dieu Fumeur De Havanes


Dieu Fumeur De Havanes
Composer(s): Serge Gainsbourg
Performer(s): Serge Gainsbourg; Catherine Deneuve



Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
Je vois ses nuages gris
Je sais qu'il fume même la nuit
Comme moi ma chérie

Tu n'es qu'un fumeur de gitanes
Je vois tes volutes bleues
Me faire parfois venir les larmes aux yeux
Tu es mon maître après Dieu

Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
C'est lui-même qui m'a dit
Que la fumée envoie au paradis
Je le sais ma chérie

Tu n'es qu'un fumeur de gitanes
Sans elles tu es malheureux
Au clair de ma lune, ouvre les yeux
Pour l'amour de Dieu

Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
Tout près de toi, loin de lui
J'aimerais te garder toute ma vie
Comprends-moi ma chérie

Tu n'es qu'un fumeur de gitanes
Et la dernière je veux
La voir briller au fond de mes yeux
Aime-moi nom de Dieu

Dieu est un fumeur de havanes
Tout près de toi, loin de lui
J'aimerais te garder toute ma vie
Comprends-moi ma chérie

Tu n'es qu'un fumeur de gitanes
Et la dernière je veux
La voir briller au fond de mes yeux
Aime-moi nom de Dieu

Are You A Dream?


Are You A Dream?
Composer(s): Peggy Lee
Performer(s): Alan Young



Are you a dream, or was it really you?
Were we really here, did my dream come true?
I can’t be happy now, till you belong to me
Why did you fade away?
Never my love to be

Was I awake, I can’t believe it’s true?
But once long ago you were the love I knew
Can it be possible you’ve gone away?
Or were you a dream I dreamed one day?
You touched me, I felt your touch
You must be real, I care so much
Come back to me, tell me it’s true
Tell me you’re not a dream, tell me it’s you

Diese Welt Ist Ein Jahrmarkt


Diese Welt Ist Ein Jahrmarkt
Performer(s): Salvatore Adamo



Diese Welt ist ein Jahrmarkt, nur ein lärmender Jahrmarkt
du darfst ruhig mal weinen, in der Maske stört's keinen
Ob es leicht oder schwer ist, Tasche voll oder leer ist
muß der Seiltänzer schweben auf dem Jahrmarkt des Lebens

Du bist ins Licht gesprungen mit einem Hoffnungsschrei
doch rasch ist er verklungen, die Kindheit schon vorbei
Dann heißt es überleben, an Ketten jeden Traum
wenn sie den Vorhang heben, verbeugst du dich als Clown

Diese Welt ist ein Jahrmarkt...

Du möchtest selber denken, und mußt doch bald erleben
die Dummheit wird dich lenken und dir das Stichwort geben
Ein Hampelmann an Fäden, so tanzt du auf und nieder
und wiederholst die Reden der andern immer wieder

Diese Welt ist ein Jahrmarkt...

La, la, la...

Twilight (BZN)


Twilight
Performer(s): BZN



I will pass the time of day
With you and drift away
Carry me on winds of time
My rhymes will fade away

Silently her tears were falling
Like a pouring rain
Still she comes to me in colours
Is it all in vain?

In the twilight of my days
When I confess my sins
I feel guilty when they say
Forever I'm to blame

Someday we will be together
If you want it too
Time has come to ease the pain
When I was losing you

Someday we will be together
If you want it too
Time has come to ease the pain
When I was losing you

In the twilight of my days
When I confess my sins
I feel guilty when they say
Forever I'm to blame

Someday we will be together
If you want it too
Time has come to ease the pain
When I was losing you

Someday we will be together
If you want it too
Time has come to ease the pain
When I was losing you

Diep In Mijn Hart


Diep In Mijn Hart Composer(s): Jaap Valkhoff First release by: Jo Leemans - 1959



Diep in m'n hart
Kan ik nooit boos zijn op jou
Blijf ik je toch altijd trouw
Dat mag je heus wel weten

Diep in m'n hart
Is er slechts één dat ben jij
Jij bent toch alles voor mij
Zal je dat nooit vergeten

Want jij bent heus niet slecht
Wat ook een ander zegt

Lieveling, denk toch eens aan
Saam door het leven te gaan
'k Heb dan jouw liefde voortaan
Diep in m'n hart

Diep in m'n hart
Kan ik nooit boos zijn op jou
Blijf ik je toch altijd trouw
Dat mag je heus wel weten

Diep in m'n hart
Is er slechts één dat ben jij
Jij bent toch alles voor mij
Zal je dat nooit vergeten

Want jij bent heus niet slecht
Wat ook een ander zegt

Lieveling, denk toch eens aan
Saam door het leven te gaan
'k Heb dan jouw liefde voortaan
Diep in m'n hart

Are We Dreamin' The Same Dream?


Are We Dreamin' The Same Dream?
Composer(s): Billy Burnette - Johnny Christopher
Performer(s): Gary Stewart; Charlie Rich



Are you feelin' the same way
Thinkin' 'bout me everyday?
Do you hurt the way that I do
Baby, I'm in love with you

When I'm sleepin' by myself at night
(Sleepin' alone)

Without you it just don't feel right
Do you know what I mean
Are we dreamin' the same dream?

Knew when I saw you
Deep down in my heart
Everything I'm feeling
Was right there from the start

(I knew it was only)
I knew it was only
(Just a matter of time)
Just a matter of time
(And I'm wonderin')
Now you got me wonderin'
What you've got on your mind

Are you feelin' the same way
Thinkin' 'bout me everyday?
It hurt the way I do
Baby, I'm in love with you

And when I'm sleepin' by myself at night
(Sleepin' alone)
Without you it just don't feel right
(Without you it don't feel right)
Do you know what I mean
Are we dreamin' the same dream?

Knew when I saw you
Deep down in my heart
Everything I'm feeling
Was right there from the start

(I knew it was only)
I knew it was only
(Just a matter of time)
Just a matter of time
(And I'm wonderin')
Now you got me wonderin'
What you've got on your mind

Are you feelin' the same way
Thinkin' 'bout me everyday?
It hurt the way I do
Baby, I'm in love with you

When I'm sleepin' by myself at night
(Sleepin' alone)
Without you it just don't feel right
(Without you it don't feel right)
Do you know what I mean
Are we dreamin' the same dream?

Diego, Libre Dans Sa Tête


Diego, Libre Dans Sa Tête Composer(s): Michel Berger First release by: France Gall - 1981 Covered by multiple other artists



Derrière des barreaux
Pour quelques mots
Qu'il pensait si fort
Dehors il fait chaud
Des milliers d'oiseaux
S'envolent sans effort

Quel est ce pays
Où frappe la nuit
La loi du plus fort?

Diego, libre dans sa tête
Derrière sa fenêtre
S'endort peut-etre...

Et moi qui danse ma vie
Qui chante et qui rit
Je pense à lui

Diego, libre dans sa tête
Derrière sa fenêtre
Déjà mort peut-être...

Dieci Ragazze


Dieci Ragazze Composer(s): Lucio Battisti - Mogol First release by: Lucio Battisti - 1969



Ho visto un uomo che moriva per amore
ne ho visto un altro che più lacrime non ha
Nessun coltello mai
ti può ferir di più
di un grande amore che ti stringe il cuor

Dieci ragazze per me
posson bastare
dieci ragazze per me
voglio dimenticare
capelli biondi d’accarezzare
e labbra rosse sulle quali morire
Dieci ragazze per me
solo per me

Una la voglio perché
sa bene ballare
Una la voglio perché
ancor non sa cosa vuol dir l'amore
Una soltanto perché
ha conosciuto tutti tranne me
Dieci ragazze così
che dicon solo di sì

Vorrei sapere chi ha detto
che non vivo più senza te
Matto
quello è proprio matto perché
forse non sa
che posso averne una per il giorno
una per la sera
però quel matto mi conosce
perché ha detto una cosa vera

Dieci ragazze per me
posson bastare
dieci ragazze per me
voglio dimenticare
capelli biondi d’accarezzare
e labbra rosse sulle quali morire
Dieci ragazze così
che dicon solo di sì

Vorrei sapere chi ha detto
ecc. ecc.

Dieci ragazze per me
dieci ragazze per me
dieci ragazze per me
però io muoio per te
però io muoio per te...

Are There Any More Real Cowboys?


Are There Any More Real Cowboys?
Composer(s): Neil Young
Performer(s): Willie Nelson & Neil Young



N: Are there any more real cowboys
N: Left out in these hills
N: Will the fire hit the iron one more time
N: And will one more dusty pick-up
N: Come rolling down the road
N: With a load of feed before the sun gets high
N: Well, I hope that working cowboy never dies

W: Not the one that's snortin' cocaine
W: When the honky-tonk's all closed
W: But the one that prays for more rain, heaven knows
W: That the good feed brings the money
W: And the money buys the clothes
W: Not the diamond sequins shining on TV
W: But the kind the working cowboy really needs

Both: Are there any more country families
Both: Still working hand in hand
Both: Trying hard to stay together and make a stand
Both: While the rows and rows of houses
Both: Come creepin' up on the land
Both: Where the cattle graze and an old gray barn still stands
Both: Are there any more real cowboys in this land
Both: Are there any more real cowboys in this land

Die Welt Ist Neu


Die Welt Ist Neu ((Adapted from: With You I'm Born Again (Billy Preston & Syreeta Wright) - 1979)) ((French Version: Je Suis Heureuse (Mireille Mathieu) - 1982)) Composer(s): Composer(s): David Shire - Carol Conners - M. Kunze Performer(s): Mireille Mathieu - 1981



So bunt sind die Lichter
und so freundlich die Gesichter
Nichts mehr ist so, wie es war
Die Welt ist neu
Ich seh' Blumen blühen
seh' die weißen Wolken ziehen
Jeder Tag ist hell und klar
Die Welt ist neu

Ich kam aus der Nacht
du warst der Tag
Ich war müd' und schwach
Du machst mich stark

Die Angst ist vorüber
und es drückt mich nichts mehr nieder
Seit du da bist, bin ich frei
Die Welt ist neu
Staunend merke ich, die Welt ist neu

Es flüstert der Regen
und der Wind (blaßt?) mir entgegen
Und die Sonne streichelt mich
Die Welt ist neu
Die Straßen sind breiter
und der Himmel so viel weiter
Und was war, vergesse ich
Die Welt ist neu

Ich kam aus der Nacht
du warst der Tag
Ich war müd' und schwach
Du machst mich stark

Ich fühl' mich geborgen
wie an einem Sommermorgen
Seit du da bist, bin ich frei
Die Welt ist neu
Staunend merke ich, die Welt ist neu

Nina, Pretty Ballerina


Nina, Pretty Ballerina
Composer(s): Benny Andersson - Björn Ulvaeus
First release by: Björn & Benny - Agnetha & Frida - 1973



Every day in the morning on her way to the office
You can see as she catches a train
Just a face among a million faces
Just another woman with no name
Not the girl you'd remember but she's still something special
If you knew her I am sure you'd agree
'Cause I know she's got a little secret
Friday evening she turns out to be...

Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella
(just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
But she knows the fun would go away
If she would play it every day

So she's back every morning to her work at the office
And another week to live in a dream
And another row of early mornings
In an almost never-ending stream
Doesn't talk very often, kind of shy and uncertain
Everybody seems to think she's a bore
But they wouldn't know her little secret
What her Friday night would have in store...

Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella
(just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play
She would like to play it every day

Nina, pretty ballerina
Now she is the queen of the dancing floor
This is the moment she's waited for
Just like Cinderella
(just like Cinderella)
Nina, pretty ballerina
Who would ever think she could be this way
This is the part that she likes to play ...

Are The Good Times Really Over (I Wish A Buck Was Still Silver)


Are The Good Times Really Over (I Wish A Buck Was Still Silver)
Composer(s): Merle Haggard
Performer(s): Merle Haggard



Wish a buck was still silver
It was, back when the country was strong
Back before Elvis; before the Vietnam war came along
Before The Beatles and "Yesterday"
When a man could still work, and still would
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?
Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell?
With no kind of chance for the Flag or the Liberty bell
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Could still last ten years, like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?

I wish coke was still cola
And a joint was a bad place to be
And it was back before Nixon lied to us all on TV
Before microwave ovens
When a girl still cooked and chopped wood
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?

Are we rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell?
With no kind of chance for the Flag or the Liberty bell
Wish a Ford and a Chevy
Could still last ten years, like they should
Is the best of the free life behind us now?
Are the good times really over for good?

One more time

Stop rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell?
Stand up for the Flag and let's all ring the Liberty bell
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
Still last ten years, like they should
'Cos the best of the free life is still yet to come
The good times ain't over for good?

Let's sing it again

Stop rolling down hill like a snowball headed for hell?
Stand up for the Flag and let's all ring the Liberty bell
Let's make a Ford and a Chevy
That'll still last ten years, like they should
'Cos the best of the free life is still yet to come
An' the good times ain't over for good?

Der Schlüssel Der Liebe


Der Schlüssel Der Liebe
((French Version: Les Clefs De L'amour (Dalida))
Composer(s): Pino Massara - Toto Cutugno - Vito Pallavicini - Hachfeld
Performer(s): Dalida



In Rosa, Blau, in Schwarz und Rot das Leben
Ein langer, langer Gang voll Glück und Not
Und Tür an Tür darin, Du schlieBt sie zu
Doch eine schlieBt Du und gehst hinein
Die Liebe hat die Schlüssel nur allein

Und öffnest Du die Tür, die Tür der Zeit
Die Liebe liegt darin für Dich bereit
Ich such ob ich die Türe endlich find
Sie lädt zu Fragen ein die endlos sind

Die Liebe hat die Schlüssel nur allein
Niemals, niemals
Vergesse ich die Tür
Die blaue Tür, die Liebe fand uns hier
Drum komm mit mir, ich zeige Dir, was uns noch verborgen
Dort öffnen wir gemeinsam die Tür zu dem Glück von morgen
Die liebe hat die Schlüssel nur allein

Wenn man den gang entlang zum Ende geht
Kommt man zur Türe, auf der Hoffaung steht
Wer sie nur immer sucht, der kann sie sehn
Dem wird die Türe weit offenstehn

Die liebe hat die Schlüssel nur allein
Niemals, niemals
Vergesse ich die Tür
Die blaue Tür, die Liebe fand uns hier
Drum komm mit mir, ich zeige Dir was uns noch verborgen
Dort öffnen wir gemeinsam die Tür zu dem Glück von morgen

La la la la...

Drum komm mit mir, ich zeige Dir, was uns noch verborgen
Dort öffnen wir gemeinsam die Tür zu dem Glück von morgen
Die liebe hat die Schlüssel nur allein
Die 1iebe hat die Schlüssel nur allein

Four Little Heels (The Clickety Clack Song)


Four Little Heels (The Clickety Clack Song)
Composer(s): Lee Pockriss - Paul Vance
Performer(s): Brian Hyland



(Clickety clack)
(Clickety clack)

Two little girls came walking down the avenue
Two little girls who had nothing to do
One wore yellow and the other wore black
And four little heels went clickety clack

Me and my friend came walking down the avenue
Just like the girls we had nothing to do
So we both whistled but they wouldn't look back
And four little heels went clickety clack

(Clickety clack) what a pretty pair
Walking along with their noses in the air
(Clickety clack) and then to our surprise
They started to talk to two other guys

Now me and my friend are walking down the avenue
Me and my friend still have nothing to do
Gone are the girls dressed in yellow and black
And four little heels going clickety clack

(Clickety clack) we were pretty mad
Thinking of the fun that we could have had
(Clickety clack) and then to our surprise
They walked away from the two other guys

Now me and my friend are walking down the avenue
Me and my friend walking two by two
We've got the girls dressed in yellow and black
And four little heels going clickety clack

(Clickety clack)
(Clickety clack)
(Clickety clack)
And four little heels going clickety clack

Die Rose


Die Rose ((Adapted from: The Rose (Bette Midler) - 1979)) Composer(s): Amanda McBroom - Michael Kunze Performer(s): Nana Mouskouri - 1980

Versions In Other Languages: 1980 - De Roos (Ann Christy) 1980 - Ruusu (Taiska) 1987 - En Rose (Birthe Kjær)



Liebe ist wie wildes Wasser
Das sich durch Felsen zwängt
Liebe ist so wie ein Messer
Das Dir im Herzen brennt
Sie ist süß, und sie ist bitter
Ein Sturmwind und ein Hauch
Für mich ist sie eine Rose
Für Dich ein Dornenstrauch

Wer nie weint und niemals trauert
Der weiß auch nichts vom Glück
Wer nur sucht, was ewig dauert
Versäumt den Augenblick
Wer nie nimmt, kann auch nicht geben
Und wer sein Leben lang
Immer Angst hat vor dem Sterben
Fängt nie zu Leben an

Wenn Du denkst, Du bist verlassen
Und kein Weg führt aus der Nacht
Fängst Du an, die Welt zu hassen
Die nur and're glücklich macht
Doch vergiss nicht, an dem Zweig dort
Der im Schnee beinah' erfror
Blüht im Frühjahr eine Rose
So schön wie nie zuvor
