Louise (Maurice Chevalier)
Louise
Composer(s): Leo Robin - Richard Whiting
Performer(s): Maurice Chevalier
and multiple other artists
Wonderful! Oh, it's wonderful
To be in love with you
Beautiful! You're so beautiful
You haunt me all day through
Every little breeze seems to whisper "Louise"
Birds in the trees seem to twitter "Louise"
Each little rose
Tells me it knows I love you, love you
Every little beat that I feel in my heart
Seems to repeat, What I felt from the start
Each little sigh
Tells me that I adore you, Louise
Just to see and hear you
Brings joy I never knew
But to be so near you
Thrills me through and through
Anyone can see why I wanted your kiss
It had to be But the wonder is this
Can it be true
Someone like you could love me, Louise?
Innocent! You're so innocent
And gentle as a dove
Heaven sent! You were heaven sent
An angel from above
Every little breeze seems to whisper "Louise"
Birds in the trees seem to twitter "Louise"
Each little rose
Tells me it knows I love you, love you
Every little beat that I feel in my heart
Seems to repeat, What I felt from the start
Each little sigh
Tells me that I adore you, Louise
Often when I'm gloomy
And in my lonely room
Thoughts of you come to me
Like a sweet perfume
Anyone can see why I wanted your kiss
It had to be But the wonder is this
Can it be true
Someone like you could love me, Louise?

Aren't You Kind Of Glad We Did?
Aren't You Kind Of Glad We Did?
Composer(s): Ira Gershwin - George Gershwin
Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists
Oh, it really wasn't my intention
To disregard convention
It was just an impulse
That had to be obeyed
Though it seems convention we've been scorning
I'll still not go in mourning
Though my reputation
Is blemished, I'm afraid
With just one kiss
What heaven, what rapture, what bliss
Honestly, I thought you wouldn't
Naturally, you thought you couldn't
And probably we shouldn't
But aren't you kind of glad we did?
Actually, it all was blameless
Nevertheless, they'll call it shameless
So let's keep the lady nameless
But aren't you kind of glad we did?
Socially, I'll be an outcast
Obviously, we dined alone
On my good name there will be doubt cast
With never a sign of any chaperone
No matter how they may construe it
Whether or not, we have to rue it
Whatever made us do it
Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?
Whatever made us do it
Say, aren't you kind of glad we did?

Louis'anna Blues
Louis'anna Blues
Composer(s): Howard C. Washington - James S. White
Down in Lou'siana where the melons grow
Lives the sweetest little girl that I love so
My oh my heavens above how she can love
When she starts a loving I'm in heav'n above
Before long you'll see me going on a train
That I'm sure will carry me right back again
Oh! deario I'm home sick and so lonely
I can be cured by you only
Oh!
Dearie now I'm wond'ring if you'll ever know
Just how bad I feel and that I miss you so
With me 'twas the ending of a perfect day
It's not clear to me just why I went away
Dearie I just want your love and nothing more
I want you to love me as you did of yore
Sweet heart I am so sad and lonely
My heart cries for you only
Oh!
I've got the blues the Lou'siana blues
My honey how I'm longing just for you
Baby I'm wond'ring if you are still true
And that is why I feel so blue
I can't forget, do you regret
The love and kisses that you gave to me
How I miss you, your loving kiss
Your love so true, 'twas joy and bliss
Oh I've got the weary blues, the Lou'siana blues
Those weary Lou'siana blues

Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned

Oh, when they heard that Louis was dead
all the people they dressed in red
The angels laid him away

Ariane
Ariane
Composer(s): Maurice Bourdet
Performer(s): Jean Ferrat
Toutes les portes se ressemblent
Quelque part dans ce grand ensemble
Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Maudite soit ma maladresse
J'ai perdu sa nouvelle adresse
Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Toutes les portes se ressemblent
Les escaliers montent ou descendent
Selon le sens où on les prend
Les judas me font la grimace
Je vais, je cours, les heures passent
Au fil du temps l'amour se casse
Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Toutes les portes se ressemblent
Mais à tant crier il me semble
Qu'Ariane, qu'Ariane m'entend
Escalier cent-soixante-quatre
Mon coeur va-t-il cesser de battre
Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Ariane, vois ma triste posture
Devant ces portes d'imposture
Ariane, ouvre-moi, je t'entends
Mais luit où tant je tambourine
J'entrouvre et soudain je devine
Ce n'est qu'une télé-speakerine
Qui parle, qui parle du temps
Je veux hurler mais ma voix tremble
Je pleure et je ris tout ensemble
Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Devant ces mille et une portes
Je sens que la colère m'emporte
Ariane, Ariane m'attend
Ariane, tu ne peux pas paraître
Il me reste un moyen peut-être
Nous verrons bien si cela prend
Par l'allumette que j'enflamme
J'en fonds cet ensemble sans âme
Le feu fera surgir la femme
Ariane, Ariane, Ariane, Ariane
Ariane, Ariane, Ariane...

Dans Met Mij Tot Morgenvroeg
Dans Met Mij Tot Morgenvroeg
Performer(s): Willy Sommers
Je mag eindelijk met mij uitgaan
Maar je moet weg voor middernacht
Toch laat ik je niet naar huis gaan
Voor het einde van de nacht
Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg
Dans met mij de hele nacht
Kom neem m'n hand en dans met mij
Neem de tijd en voel je vrij
Wees gelukkig tot de morgendauw
Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg
Dans met mij de hele nacht
Wie weet wat ik nog meer verzin
Voor een nieuwe dag begint
Zeg ik beslist nog wel
'Ik hou van jou'
Kijk het is al middernacht
Men heeft vergeefs op jou gewacht
Maar je kust me, en je lacht
Liefste jij maakt me geen verwijt
En je toont niet de minste spijt
Morgen heb je nog al de tijd
Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg
Dans met mij de hele nacht
Kom neem m'n hand en dans met mij
Neem de tijd en voel je vrij
Wees gelukkig tot de morgendauw
Dans met mij tot morgenvroeg
Dans met mij de hele nacht
Wie weet wat ik nog meer verzin
Voor een nieuwe dag begint
Zeg ik beslist nog wel
'Ik hou van jou'

Arianne
Arianne
Composer(s): Martin Charnin - Christian Roudey
Performer(s): The Neville Brothers; Johnny Mathis
Arianne's an April morning
That comes rippling through my window
She's the smell of coffee brewing
On a quiet rainy Sunday
And the purring of a kitten
That has made my neck
A pillow for it's head
Arianne's the silly music
That my father used to whistle
She's the new leaf on the fern
That I had given up last winter
And what writer's have to feel like
When they suddenly discover
They've been read
Arianne is mama's crystal
Bread that's nearly finished baking
And the rainbow in a puddle
And the happiest of birthdays
Then the going off on Friday
And the coming back on Monday
With a tan
Arianne is made of feelings
So I milk her of her kisses
And I swallow up her breathing
And I taste her where she loves me
And I'm filled to over flowing
But there's always room for more of Arianne
Arianne is mama's crystal
Bread that's nearly finished baking
And the rainbow in a puddle
And the happiest of birthdays
Then the going off on Friday
And the coming back on Monday
With a tan
Arianne is made of feelings
So I milk her of her kisses
And I swallow up her breathing
And I taste her where she loves me
And I'm filled to over flowing
But there's always room for more of Arianne

Ooh, Ooh

Ariel
Ariel
Composer(s): Dean Friedman
Performer(s): Dean Friedman
Way on the other side of the Hudson
Deep in the bosom of suburbia
I met a young girl she sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Standing by the water fall in Paramus Park
She was working for the friends of Bai
She was collecting quarters in a paper cup
She was looking for change and so was I
She was a Jewish girl
I fell in love with her
She wrote her number on the back of my hand
I called her up,
I was all out of breath
I said, "Come hear me play in my rock and roll band"
I took a shower and I put on my best blue jeans
I picked her up in my new V double U van
She wore a peasant blouse with nothing underneath
I said "Hi"
She said, "yeah, I guess I am"
Ariel, Ariel
We had a little time, we were real hungry
We went to Dairy Queen for something to eat
She had some onion rings, she had a pickle
She forgot to tell me how she didn't eat meat
I had a gig in the American Legion hall
It was a dance for the Volunteer Ambulance Corps
She was sitting in a corner against the wall
She would smile and I melted all over the floor
Ariel, Ariel
I took her home with me, we watched some TV
Annette Funicello and some guy going steady
I started fooling around with the verticle hold
We got the munchies so I made some spaghetti
We sat and we talked into the night
While channel 2 was signing off the air
I found the softness of her mouth
We made love, the bombs bursting in air
Ariel, Ariel
Ariel, Ariel
Way on the other side of the Hudson
Deep in the bosom of suburbia
I met a young girl
She sang mighty fine
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria
Tears on my pillow and Ave Maria

Lots Of Luck
Composer(s): Eddie Miller
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
My heart will break as I watch you go
But your kind of love is hard to hold
It seems you and I are losing touch
So I'll wish you love …
And honey lots of luck
Well lots of luck and a big goodbye
And you can't say I didn't try
It well could be that I tried too much
And that's why you're leavin’ …
But honey lots of luck
Ah Leon
Now you want love and a big gold mine
Well that combination is hard to find
Cause money don't always walk with luck
But you can go looking …
And honey lots of luck
Well lots of luck and a big goodbye
And you can't say I didn't try
It well could be that I tried too much
And that's why you're leavin’ …
But honey lots of luck
Well honey lots of luck …
Go on and leave now …
And baby lots of luck …

L'Ostendaise
L'Ostendaise
((English Version: Girl in an Armchair (by Amanda McBroom))
Composer(s): Gérard Jouannest - Jacques Brel
Performer(s): Jacques Brel
Une Ostendaise
Pleure sur sa chaise
Le chat soupèse
Son poids d'amour
Dans le silence
Son chagrin danse
Et les vieux pensent
Chacun son tour
À la cuisine
Quelques voisines
Parlent de Chine
Et d'un retour
À Singapore
Une Javanaise
Devient belle-sœur
De l'Ostendaise
Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer
Notre Ostendaise
Que rien n'abaise
De chaise en chaise
Va sa blessure
Quelques commères
Quelques compères
Battent le fer
De sa blessure
Son capitaine
Sous sa bedaine
De bière pleine
Bat le tambour
Homme de devoir
Homme d'étoiles
Il prend l'escale
Pour un détour
Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et ceux qui sont en mer
Notre Ostendaise
Au temps des fraises
Devient maîtresse
D'un pharmacien
Son capitaine
Mort sous bedaine
Joue les baleines
Les sous-marins
Pourquoi ma douce
Moi le faux mousse
Que le temps pousse
T'écrire de loin
C'est que je t'aime
Et tant je t'aime
Qu'ai peur ma reine
D'un pharmacien
Il y a deux sortes de temps
Il y a le temps qui attend
Et le temps qui espère
Il y a deux sortes de gens
Il y a les vivants
Et moi je suis en mer

Ari's Song
Ari's Song
Composer(s): Nico
Performer(s): Nico
Sail away, sail away my little boy
Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy
Sail away my little boy
Let the rain wash away your cloudy days
Sail away into a dream
Let the wind send you a fantasy
Of the ancient silver sea
Now you see that only dreams
Can send you where you want to be
Now you find those faces
Are not holding places
Where you thought they'd be
And later as you go again
You will agree
That it was all a dream
Sail away, sail away my little boy
Let the wind fill your heart with light and joy
Sail away my little boy
