Do Right Woman - Do Right Man
Do Right Woman - Do Right Man
Composer(s): Chips Moman - Dan Penn
First release by: Aretha Franklin - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
Take me to heart
And I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted
Leaving love unshown
Makes will power weak
And temptation strong
A woman's only human
You should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man
Yeah, yeah
They say that it's a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together baby
Show some respect for me
If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All night man
A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood
Just like her man
If you want a do right
All days woman
You've gotta be a do right
All nights man
You've gotta be a do right
All nights man

As Long As The Grass Shall Grow
As Long As The Grass Shall Grow
Composer(s): Peter LaFarge
Performer(s): Johnny Cash
As long as the moon shall rise
As long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun will shine
As long as the grass shall grow
The Senecas are an Indian tribe of the Iroquios nation
Down on the New York Pennsylvania Line you'll find their reservation
After the US revolution, Cornplanter was a chief
He told the tribe these men they could trust, that was his true belief
He went down to Independence Hall and there a treaty signed
That promised peace with the USA and Indian rights combined
George Washington gave his signature, the Government gave its hand
They said that now and forever more that this was Indian land
As long as the moon shall rise
As long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun will shine
As long as the grass shall grow
On the Seneca reservation there is much sadness now
Washington's treaty has been broken and there is no hope, no how
Across the Allegheny River they're throwing up a dam
It will flood the Indian country, a proud day for Uncle Sam
It has broke the ancient treaty with a politician's grin
It will drown the Indian graveyards, Cornplanter can you swim
The earth is mother to the the Senecas, they're trampling sacred ground
Change the mint green earth to black mud flats as honour hobbles down
As long as the moon shall rise
As long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun will shine
As long as the grass shall grow
The Iroquios Indians used to rule from Canada way south
But no one fears the Indians now and smiles the liar's mouth
The Senecas hired an expert to figure another site
But the great good army engineers said that he had no right
Although he showed them another plan and showed them another way
They laughed in his face and said no deal, Kinzua dam is here to stay
Congress turned the Indians down, brushed off the Indians plea
So the Senecas have renamed the dam, they call it Lake Perfidy
As long as the moon shall rise
As long as the rivers flow
As long as the sun will shine
As long as the grass shall grow
Washington, Adams and Kennedy now hear their pledges ring
The treaties are safe, we'll keep our word, but what is that gurgling
It's the back water from Perfidy Lake it's rising all the time
Over the homes and over the fields and over the promises fine
No boats will sail on Lake Perfidy, in winter it will fill
In summer it will be a swamp and all the fish will kill
But the Government of the USA has corrected George's vow
The Father of our Country must be wrong, what's an Indian anyhow
As long as the moon shall rise, look up
As long as the rivers flow, are you thirsty
As long as the sun will shine, my brother are you warm
As long as the grass shall grow

... Zegt Mijn Man
... Zegt Mijn Man
Performer(s): Rita Hovink
... De vrouw des huizes heeft het rijk alleen, zegt mijn man
Hoeft niet te werken heeft nooit een probleem, zegt mijn man
Waarom de vrouw van deze tijd zo klagen kan
Da's onbegrijpelijk, zegt mijn man
Dat beetje koken is toch geen bezwaar, zegt mijn man
En ook die afwas speel je makkelijk klaar, zegt mijn man
Waarom de huisvrouw van vandaag zo zeuren kan
Is hem een raadsel, zegt mijn man
En wat mijn man zegt is altijd waar
Ik kan het weten want wij zijn een paar
Dat beetje wasgoed gaat in de machine, zegt mijn man
Dat beetje strijken is te overzien, zegt mijn man
Waarom de vrouw van nu dat niet begrijpen kan
Is onverklaarbaar, zegt mijn man
En wat mijn man zegt is altijd waar
Ik kan het weten want wij zijn een paar
De grote schoonmaak is zo goed voor't hart, zegt mijn man
En dat tuinieren is toch zo apart, zegt mijn man
Dat de moderne vrouw dat niet bevatten kan
Dat is een schande, zegt mijn man
Hij moet gaan werken elke dag van huis, zegt mijn man
Zijn lieve vrouwtje blijft dan lekker thuis, zegt mijn man
Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan
Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man
Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan
Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man
Dat ik de Heer op blote voeten danken kan
Voor zo'n goed leven, zegt mijn man

As Long As I'm Singing
As Long As I'm Singing
Composer(s): Bobby Darin
First release by: Bobby Darin - 1964
As long as I'm singin'
There's a bell
Up in my brain that's ringin'
Makin' a crazy ding dong
And if this band don't desert me
Then there's nothin'
In the world can hurt me
Long as I'm singin' my song
Give me trumpets ... legato
Put some saxes with 'em
Strings ... pizzicato
Add some rhythm
As long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as I'm singin' my song
Ummmm... makin' music
Is more to me than a pleasure
'cause me and music
We go together like notes in a measure
Long as I'm singin'
Then the world's all right
And everything's swingin'
Long as I'm singin' my ...
Long as I'm singin' my ...
Long as I'm singin' my song

Die Welt Von Heut'
Die Welt Von Heut'
((Adapted from: I Am... I Said (Neil Diamond) - 1971))
((Italian Version: La Casa Degli Angeli (Caterina Caselli) - 1971))
Composer(s): Neil Diamond - Günter Loose
Performer(s): Pascal Legrand - 1971
Neonlicht
Stadt im Lichterschein
und die Menschen wandern
kreuz und quer
hin und her
Doch
wohin der Weg sie fährt
weiss keiner mehr
Sie kaufen sich ein bisschen Glück
das morgens schon im Wind verweht
Gestern ist schon lang vorbei
weil die Welt sich täglich weiterdreht
Die Welt von heut'ist reich und schön
doch ich hab' soviel Menschen einsam geseh'n
Die Welt von heut'
sie nimmt und gibt
Doch du siehst nichts davon
wenn niemand dich liebt
Denn dann bist du allein!
Wer geht neben dir?
Hast du ihn vielleicht schon 'mal gefragt
nach seinem Namen?
Ob er weint oder lacht
oder ob dieses Leben
ihn genauso wie dich
schon einsam gemacht hat?
Man redet von Liebe immerzu
und man sucht und findet sie nicht
Weil keiner mehr sein Herz verschenkt
und weil er nur noch an sich
und nichts weiter denkt
Die Welt von heut'ist reich und schön
doch ich hab' soviel Menschen einsam geseh'n
Die Welt von heut'
sie nimmt und gibt
Doch du siehst nichts davon
wenn niemand dich liebt
Denn dann bist du allein!

As Long As I Live
Composer(s): Ted Koehler - Harold Arlen
First performance/First recording: Lena Horne & Avon Long - 1934/Will Osborne & His Orch. - 1934
Covered by multiple other artists
Maybe I can't live to love you as long as I want to
Life isn't long enough baby, but I can love you as long as I live
Maybe I can't give you diamonds and things like I want to
But I can promise you, baby, I'm gonna want to as long as I live
I never cared, but now I'm scared, I won't live long enough
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains and eat an apple every
day then see the doctor anyway
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to
Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live
I'll even wear long underwear, when winter breezes blow
I'm gonna take good care of me because, a sneeze or two might mean the flu
And that would never never do
What if I can't live to love you as long as I want to
Long as I promise you, baby, I'm gonna love you as long I live

Afscheid
Afscheid
Performer(s): Rob de Nijs
Dit is het moeilijkste uur uit heel m'n leven
Dit is het laatste vaarwel van een man en een vrouw
Niets wat ik nu nog aan jou zou kunnen geven
Dan m'n hart, maar dat was altijd al van jou
Dit is het laatste moment van ons twee samen
Nu kennen wij allebei voor 't eerst geen verwijt
Nooit was je mij zo vertrouwd
Als vandaag, nu m'n ziel om je rouwt
Nu alles voorbij is, voor altijd
Als jij, heel misschien
Ooit mij weer zult zien
Denk dan, als het kan
Nog alleen aan de tijd vol genegenheid
Want zo was het laatste moment van ons twee samen
Toen kenden wij allebei voor elkaar geen verwijt
Nooit was je mij zo vertrouwd
Maar m'n hart is van binnen zo koud
Nu alles voorbij is, voor altijd
Verloren, vergeten, voor altijd...

You'll always be part of me
You'll live in the heart of me

Will fall at close of day
You're all that I need
So answer this love I give
And whisper "I'm yours"
As long as I live

Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
Do Nothing Till You Hear From Me
((Adapted from: Concerto For Cootie (Duke Ellington and His Famous Orch.) - 1940))
Composer(s): Duke Ellington - Bob Russell
Performer(s): Duke Ellington and His Orch. - 1947
and multiple other artists
Someone told someone and someone told you
But they wouldn't hurt you, not much
Sine ev'ry one spreads the story
With his own little personal touch
Do nothin' till you hear from me
Pay no attention to what's said
Why people tear the seam of anyone's dream is over my head
Do nothin' till you hear from me
At least consider our romance
If you should take the word of others you've heard
I haven't a chance
True I've been seen with someone new
But does that mean that I'm untrue?
When we're apart the words in my heart reveal how I feel about you
Some kiss may cloud my memroy
And others arms may hold a thrill
But please do nothin' till you hear from me
And you never will

Let the stars fade and fall
And I won't care at all

You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you
Let's think of the future
Forget the past
You're not my first love
But you're my last
Take the love that I bring
Then I'll have everything
As long as I have you
As long, as long as I have you

Marie, Der Letzte Tanz Ist Nur Für Dich
Marie, Der Letzte Tanz Ist Nur Für Dich
Composer(s): Michael Holm; Ralph Siegel
Performer(s): Rex Gildo
Rot so strahlt die letzte Sonne
der Abend hat begonnen
du gehst an mir vorbei bei bei
und mein Herz fängt an zu schlagen
ich wag' es nicht zu fragen
bist du heut für mich frei?
Doch beim Tanz in der Taverne
im goldenen Licht der Sterne
da seh' ich Dich ein zweites Mal
und wir haben uns gefunden
zu schnell vergehen die Stunden
auf diesem Sommerball
Marie, der letzte Tanz ist nur für dich
lass uns schweben,in Träumen leben, nur du und ich
Marie, der letzte Tanz wird nie vergehen
denn mit dir und mir ist ein Wunder geschehen
Dann sind alle schon gegangen
nur wir sind noch gefangen
von unserem Glück im Kerzenschein
Dieser Ball ist fast zu Ende
komm gib mir deine Hände
denn noch sind wir zu zweit
Hier den Ring will ich dir schenken
denn du sollst an mich denken
bis wir uns beide wiedersehen
Heut' hab ich mein Herz verloren
und ich hab mir geschworen
ich lass Dich nicht mehr geh'n
Tränen in deinen Augen, Tränen hab ich geseh'n
ich kann's noch gar nicht glauben, aber ich kann's versteh'n
Tränen in deinen Augen, da hab ich dich gefragt
soll ich noch bei dir bleiben, und du hast "Ja" gesagt
Marie, der letzte Tanz.....
Marie, der letzte Tanz....

As Long As He Needs Me
As Long As He Needs Me
Composer(s): Lionel Bart
First performance: Georgia Brown - 1960
Covered by multiple other artists
As long as he needs me
Oh, yes, he does need me
In spite of what you see
I'm sure that he needs me
Who else would love him still
When they've been used so ill?
He knows I always will
As long as he needs me
I miss him so much when he is gone
But when he's near me
I don't let on
The way I feel inside
The love I have to hide
The hell! I've got my pride
As long as he needs me
He doesn't say the things he should
He acts the way he thinks he should
But all the same
I'll play this game
His way...
As long as he needs me
I know where I must be
I'll cling on steadfastly
As long as he needs me
As long as life is long
I'll love him right or wrong
And somehow I'll be strong
As long as he needs me
If you are lonely
Then you will know
When someone needs you
You love them so
I won't betray his trust
Though people say I must
I've got to stay true, just
As long as he needs me

As If We Never Said Goodbye
As If We Never Said Goodbye
Composer(s): Don Black - Christopher Hampton - Andrew Lloyd Webber - Amy Powers
Performer(s): Barbra Streisand
and multiple other artists
I don’t know why I’m frightened
I know my way around here
The cardboard trees, the painted scenes, the sound here
Yes a world to rediscover
But I’m not in any hurry
And I need a moment
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
The atmosphere as thrilling here as always
Feel the early morning madness
Feel the magic in the making
Why everything’s as if we never said goodbye
I’ve spent so many mornings
Just trying to resist you
I’m trembling now
You can’t know how I’ve missed you
Missed the fairy-tail adventures
In this ever-spinning playground
We were young together
I’m coming out of make-up
The lights already burning
Not long until the camera’s will start turning
And the early morning madness
And the magic in the making...
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye
I don’t want to be alone that’s all in the past
This world’s waited long enough
I’ve come home at last!
And this time will be bigger
And brighter than we knew it
So watch me fly, we all know I can do it...
Could I stop my hand from shaking?
Has there ever been a moment with so much to live for?
The whispered conversations in overcrowded hallways
So much to say not just today but always
We’ll have early morning madness
We’ll have magic in the making
Yes, everything is as if we never said goodbye...
Oh, please don’t ever ever make me say goodbye!!!

Mijn Hart Is Geen Speelgoed
Performer(s): Rosita & Club 68
Mijn hart is geen speelgoed het is niet van steen
Je kunt er niet mee blijven spelen
Nee mijn hart is geen speelgoed laat mij maar alleen
M'n smart daar kom ik wel overheen
Dacht je dat ik niet wist, dat er een ander is
Zeg niet het is niet waar, dan zit je te liegen
Dacht je dat ik niet wist, dat jij die ander mist
Wanneer ik bij je ben, je blijft me bedriegen
Maar mijn hart is geen speelgoed het is niet van steen
Je kunt er niet mee blijven spelen
Nee, mijn hart is geen speelgoed, laat mij maar alleen
M'n smart daar kom ik wel overheen
mmm mmmm mmm mmm mmm mmm mmmm
Dacht je dat ik niet zag, dat je vaak om mij lacht
Zeg niet het is niet waar, je liegt met je ogen
Jaren bleef jij bij mij, enkel uit medelij
Als je van liefde sprak, heb jij steeds gelogen
Maar mijn hart is geen speelgoed, het is niet van steen
Je kunt er niet mee blijven spelen
Nee, mijn hart is geen speelgoed, laat mij maar alleen
M'n smart daar kom ik wel overheen
mmmmm mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm

As If
As If
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
It was more than a matter of knowin'
Or the words that were finally said
It was more than the comin' or goin'
Or the things that were made in your head
It was more than a matter of wantin'
And needin' the foolish things I gave
As if I ever cared to make you cry
Could've been right to know that it was't
Yet you knew I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried
But the words that were finally spoken
Like the thoughts that remain in my soul
And hearts that were finally broken
And embrace that never be hold
And the words that I never told you
But I told you, the foolish things I said
As if I ever cared to make you cry
I could've been right to know that I wasn't
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
As if I would
As if I could
As if I tried
As if I ever cared to make you cry
I could've been right to know that I wasn't
Yet you knew that I was sorry
I dared to make you cry
Could have been strong but the words didn't rhyme
And the things that would come between us

As I Went Out One Morning
As I Went Out One Morning
Composer(s): Bob Dylan
Performer(s): Bob Dylan
As I went out one morning
To breathe the air around Tom Paine's
I spied the fairest damsel
That ever did walk in chains
I offer'd her my hand
She took me by the arm
I knew that very instant
She meant to do me harm
"Depart from me this moment"
I told her with my voice
Said she, "But I don't wish to"
Said I, "But you have no choice"
"I beg you, sir," she pleaded
From the corners of her mouth
"I will secretly accept you
And together we'll fly south"
Just then Tom Paine, himself
Came running from across the field
Shouting at this lovely girl
And commanding her to yield
And as she was letting go her grip
Up Tom Paine did run
"I'm sorry, sir," he said to me
"I'm sorry for what she's done"
