As Much


As Much
Composer(s): Mel Tillis
Performer(s): Don Gibson



As much as the stars need the heaven
As much as the roses need dew
As much as the plea in a baby's cry
Well that's how much I need you

As much as the flowers need sunshine
As much as the sky needs the blue
As much as much as my love is true
Well that's how much I need you

I need you I need you to guide me this much I know it's true
You alone are my inspiration in everything I do
As much as the stars need the heaven...
Well that's how much I need you

Do The Freddie


Do The Freddie Composer(s): Dennis Lambert - Lou Courtney Performer(s): Freddie & The Dreamers



Hear the happy feet
Dancing to the beat of the Freddie (Freddie)
Put a guy in front, make a line in back
Then you're ready (ready)

Kick your feet up, swing your arms up too
Move your head both ways like you see me do
Then jump three feet to the swinging beat
Do the Freddie (Freddie)
Do the Freddie (Freddie)

It's an easy dance, give yourself a chance
Dance the Freddie (Freddie)
It's the thing to do, kids will envy you
So do the Freddie (Freddie)

Wooh-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah-hah

Kick your feet up swing your arms up too
Move your head both ways like you see me do
Then jump three feet to the swinging beat
Do the Freddie (Freddie)
Do the Freddie (Freddie)

Wow!

Kick your feet up swing your arms up too
Move your head both ways like you see me do
Then jump three feet to the swinging beat
Do the Freddie (Freddie)

As Minhas Meninas


As Minhas Meninas
Performer(s): Chico Buarque



Olha as minhas meninas
As minhas meninas
Pra onde é que elas vão
Se já saem sozinhas
As notas da minha canção
Vão as minhas meninas
Levando destinos
Tão iluminados de sim
Passam por mim
E embaraçam as linhas
Da minha mão

As meninas são minhas
Só minhas na minha ilusão
Na canção cristalina
Da mina da imaginação
Pode o tempo
Marcar seus caminhos
Nas faces
Com as linhas
Das noites de não
E a solidão
Maltratar as meninas
As minhas não

As meninas são minhas
Só minhas
As minhas meninas
Do meu coração

Do The Clam


Do The Clam Composer(s): Dolores Fuller - Sid Wayne - Ben Weisman Performer(s): Elvis Presley and multiple other artists



Hey everybody gather round
Listen to that bongo sound
Grab the first one in your reach
Now we're going to shake the beach
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
You can get your heart to spin
On the outside looking in
Moon ain't gonna last all night
Well let's work up an appetite
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
Everybody's got that beat
Well listen to those happy feet
Ain't you glad that you found out
What the Clam is all about
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
Do the Clam, do the Clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the Clam
Dig right in and do the Clam

As Long As You Follow


As Long As You Follow
Composer(s): Christine McVie
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac



I’ve been searching
For a pot of gold
Like the kind you find
At the end of the rainbow

I’ve been dreaming
Thought it was in vain
Ah but now you’re here
Can’t believe that you’re back again

Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
As long as you follow

I’ve bee wandering
Gone away too far
But the road was rough
To get back where you are

And the sun went down
It never seemed to rise
Ah but now you’re here
With the light shining in your eyes

Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
Yes I can live today
If you give me tomorrow
As long as you follow

Now I know I can’t lose
As long as you follow
I’m gonna win (I’m gonna win)
I’m gonna beg, steal, or borrow
Yes I can live today
If you give me tomorrow
As long as you follow

As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)
As long as you follow (as long as you follow)

As Long As There's Music


As Long As There's Music
Composer(s): Sammy Cahn - Jule Styne
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



As long as there's music and words of romance
The spell of a theme starts you to dream there's always a chance
As long as there's music, whatever the song

As long as there's music for sweethearts to sing
I'll sing you, my love, melodies of the birds on the wing
My loneliest days will never seem long
As long as there's music and you are the song

As long as there's music for sweethearts to sing
I'll sing you, my love, melodies of the birds on the wing
My loneliest days will never seem long
As long as there's music and you are the song

Hela, Ga Met Me Mee, Ja


Hela, Ga Met Me Mee, Ja
Composer(s): Dries Holten
Performer(s): Theo en Marjan



Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan
Hee, hee, hee
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan

Toen ik jou daar zag zitten had ik enkel oog voor jou
En ik dacht bij mezelf: "O, als 'ie mij eens vragen zou"
Toen was het snel bekeken en we bleven bij elkaar
Je keek me in m'n ogen en vroeg alleen nog maar

Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan

't Is al een tijd geleden dat de liefde voor ons kwam
En jij me lachend aankeek en me in je armen nam
Maar als ik weer moest kiezen zou 'k alles over doen
Ik keek weer in je ogen en vroeg je net als toen

Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht
Ik dans met jou de wereld rond
Ik ben zo blij dat ik jou vond
M'n hart dat zal steeds voor je slaan
Zolang er sterren aan de hemel staan
Hee, hee, hee
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, 'k wil met je dansen, de hele nacht
Hela, kom met me mee, ja, op deze kans heb ik lang gewacht...

Composer(s): Justin Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb



Though I can’t come to see you everyday
It just happen things worked out this way
Ah but that don’t mean your not the apple of your Daddy’s eye
And As Long As There's A Sunday I’ll come by

As Long As There's A Sunday Your Daddy’s here
No I think about and love you all the time
And even though dear somehow said I have no right to you
But As Long As There's A Sunday you’ll be mine

And someday dear I hope you’ll understand
That I come by as often as I can
So you be good and mind your Mom, and tell her I said “Hi”
And As Long As There's A Sunday I’ll come by

And someday dear I hope you’ll understand
That I come by as often as I can
So you be good and mind your Mom, and tell her I said “Hi”

As long as there's a hill there's a valley

A secret love can't be denied
A secret place that no-one knows

As long as there's a valley then the river can flow free
As long as there's a sun there's a shadow
As long as there's a shadow there's a place for you and me

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 (Lena Horne & Avon Long)


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...
