Ask Any Girl


Ask Any Girl
Performer(s): Diana Ross & The Supremes



Being hurt by the one you love
It's a feeling that's hard to hide
But you don't seem to understand why
When I'm alone I sit and cry

Ask any girl
Who's often left alone
All by herself
Neglectfully pushed aside
Set aside like a doll on a shelf
Just ask any girl
Ooh, and you'll understand why
I sit and cry

Ask any girl
Who knows the fear of losing
Someone dear
And she'll say the same thing
It hurts you deep
Makes it hard to sleep
Don't take my word
Ask any girl
Then you'll understand why
I sit and cry

Ask any girl
Who receives no loving affection
And she'll feel as I feel
It's heartaches by the number
Many nights without slumber
Ask any girl
Ooh, and then you'll know why
I sit and cry
I sit and cry

Do You Remember Me?


Do You Remember Me? Composer(s): Nick Perito - Richard B. Matheson Performer(s): Perry Como



Do you remember me
As I remember you?
I know, many years have passed
Yet I still can’t forget the love we shared

Do you ever regret the day
You turned and walked away?
Leaving a dream behind
One I never could find again

Life went on without you
I willed it from my mind!
But still the memory lingers in my heart
Of how we parted

Do you remember why
You had to say good-bye?
Do you every now and then
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me
Wishing we were together, still in love
The way that we used to be!

Do you remember me
Holding you tenderly?
Do you, every now and then
Breathe a sigh, shed a tear, for me
Wishing we were together, still in love
The way that we used to be!

Asiatic Flu


Asiatic Flu
Composer(s): Johnny Dee
Performer(s): Ebe Sneezer & His Epidemics



There's a little bitty bug that's a-goin' all around
He's a-hittin' all the cities and he's hittin' all the towns
Beetles don't claim him and neither do the fleas
Because he makes everybody (sneeze sound)!
I've got that Asiatic Flu

Well he comes slippin' in when you least expect him
Folks are a-takin' those shots to protect them
I got mine just the other day
Now my sneezin's all gone (sneeze sound)!
Still got that Asiatic Flu

He can make feel you so doggone blue
Your eyes will run and your nose will too
Your head will ache and you'll chill and freeze
But most of all you'll sit and sn-(sneeze sound)!
I've got that Asiatic Flu

Now London has a bridge that's known to the world
And evening in Paris will make your hair curl
Russia's always kickin' up a hullabaloo
And Asia's got a bug called the A-(sneeze sound)!
That Asiatic Flu

Now here we were just as fine we as could be
When in walked a bug just as big as you please
You know what I think about this here disease
Give it back to the Asians and let them sn-(sneeze sound)!
Everybody's got that Asiatic Flu
Everybody's got that Asiatic Flu

Do You Really Love Me Too


Do You Really Love Me Too Composer(s): Mark Barkan - Ben Raleigh First release by: Billy Fury - 1963



Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you
Did I go out on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too

You greet me with a smile
What pretty things you say
But when I want your lips
You turn away

Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you
Did I go out on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too

I'm dancing close to you
And someone else cuts in
Why does your face light up
When you're with him

Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you
Did I go out on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too

Have I been just a fool
From the first day we met
Or is it just that you're
Playing hard to get

Did my heart send me on a fool's errand
When it sent me after you
Did I go out on a fool's errand
Or do you really love me too
Do you really love me too
Do you really love me too
Do you really love me
Come on and love me
Do you really love me too

I Don't Wanna Die In An Air Disaster


I Don't Wanna Die In An Air Disaster
Composer(s): Albert Hammond
Performer(s): Albert Hammond



The engines spit out fire, I'm pushed back in my chair
The pressure give me thrills as we climb up in the air
And I love to watch the clouds and the mountains and the sky
Swish around a cocktail the stewardess brings by

Lord this is the life for me
Lord oh Lord this is the life for me
But I don't wanna die in an air disaster
I don't wanna die on a plane

Well I fishtail through the lanes, and make my tires squeal
Power at my feet and the glory at the weel
And I wind the windows down
Let the wind blow through my hair
God knows where I'm going, but me, I don't care

Lord this is the life for me
Lord oh Lord this is the life for me
But I don't wanna die in a freeway pile-up
I don't wanna die on the road

Well I'm young and I'm pretty, and I wanna stay that way
Wanna be desirable 'till my dying day
I don't wanna be bedridden, an old and bitter sage
Have the nurses saying I'm young for my age

(He's young for his age)

Oh Lord don't let me go that way
Lord oh Lord don't let me go that way
No, don't let me go like a fading chorus
Don't let me fade like a song

Lord have mercy on your son
Lord oh Lord have mercy on me
'Cause I don't wanna die in an air disaster
And I don't wanna die in a freeway pile-up
And I don't wanna go like a fading chorus
And I don't wanna die for no good reason

And I just wanna go on and on

Así Es La Verdad


Así Es La Verdad
Performer(s): Luis Eduardo Aute



Como una llama que aparta tinieblas
quemando las dudas en los pensamientos
como ese río que nunca se seca
que sigue su cauce arrastrando a las piedras
como esa sangre que cae sin miedo
sangre que limpia paisajes y penas
así es la verdad

Como esa vida que decimos nuestra
y que nos reconoce por su único dueño
como esa vida que es causa primera
y que lucha por serlo a golpes de fuerza
como esa vida que no quiere muertos
como esa vida que no quiere esperas
así es la verdad

Niño en la playa

Hay un niño en la playa
detenido en la orilla
hay un niño que grita
con profunda agonía

Entre mares de infamia
y una arena sin vida
hay un niño que grita
su dolor noche y día

Vissers Van Capri


Vissers Van Capri
Composer(s): Gerhard Winkler; Johnny Steggerda; Klaas van Beek
Performer(s): Orkest Zonder Naam



refr.:
Als bij Capri de rode zon in zee verzinkt
En de maansikkel zilv'rig bleek aan de hemel blinkt
Gaan de vissers van Capri met snelle boten uit
Leggen netten in zee en hopen op rijke buit
Slechts de sterren geleiden hen aan het firmament
Met hun beelden, die elke vissersman reeds lang kent
En van boot tot boot dit oude lied weerklinkt
Hoor van ver hoe het zingt:
Bella Bella Bella Marie
Slechts voor jou zing ik mijn droommelodie
Bella Bella Bella Marie, vergeet mij niet

Golven van de zee dragen het weer mee
En zij komen dansend met hun lichte last
Vanuit het verschiet
Ergens aan het strand, rustend in het zand
Zitten de geliefden stil te luist'ren naar hun lied

refr.

Fly Away Pretty Flamingo


Fly Away Pretty Flamingo
Performer(s): Peggy March



Regen fällt auf den Strand
Kalter Wind weht ins Land
und es scheint, als sei nie Sommer gewesen
Wie verlassen und leer
ist die Welt um mich her
Gestern noch war hier nur Sonnenschein

Fly, fly away
fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos
in den Sonnenschein
fly, fly away
fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos
denn hin zu ihm
würd ich gern mit euch ziehn

All die Sehnsucht in mir
bringt die Bilder von dir
und ich seh dich noch beim Abschied weinen
Doch das Meer kommt zum Strand
und das ist wie ein Pfand
Wann kommst du zurück in dieses Land?

Fly, fly away
fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos
in den Sonnenschein
fly, fly away
fly to my love oh my pretty flamingos
denn hin zu ihm
würd ich gern mit euch ziehn

Do You Mind?


Do You Mind? Composer(s): Lionel Bart Performer(s): Anthony Newley



If I say I love you do you mind
Make an idol of you do you mind
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is
How I think of heaven do you mind

I want to whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear
Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear

So then
If I say I love you do you mind
Make an idol of you do you mind
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is
How I think of heaven do you mind

I want to whisper, whisper sweet nothings in your ear
Nothings that are meant for my love alone to hear

So then
If I say I love you do ya mind baby
Make an idol of you do you mind
If I shower you with kisses
If I tell you honey this is
How I think of heaven do you mind

Do you mind
Do you mind
Honey do you mind

Asi Es El Amor


Asi Es El Amor
Performer(s): Fernando Ubiergo



Deja que se vayan de una vez esas palabras
y no tengas miedo de abrirles la ventana
Que la rabia es necia y no sabe lo que habla
Que venga el silencio y nos devuelva la calma

Deja que se vayan también los pensamientos
Que sin razón alguna le echan leña al fuego
nublando los sentidos, quemándonos por dentro
Ven siéntate a mi lado fue solo un mal momento

Un beso como la primera vez
para olvidar tanta estupidez
pues el sabe que aunque se nuble el cielo
el sol brillará otra vez

Un te quiero así a media voz
Un corazón latiendo por los dos
que dice hay que empezar de nuevo
pues así es el amor

Deja que se vayan de una vez esas miradas
y no tengas miedo de abrirles la ventana
que el rencor es ciego y nos hiere con su espada
dame una sonrisa, aquí no pasa nada

Deja que despierte de nuevo el sentimiento
un sueño una razón para seguir creyendo
Soltemos las amarras dejemos este puerto
ven siéntate a mi lado, fue sólo un mal momento

Un beso como la primera vez
para olvidar tanta estupidez
pues él sabe que aunque ser nuble el cielo
el sol brillará otra vez

Un te quiero así a media voz
Un corazón latiendo por los dos
que dice hay que empezar de nuevo
pues así es el amor

Dann will ich's wagen dann laut sie zu fragen

Asi Como Hoy Matan Negros


Asi Como Hoy Matan Negros
Composer(s): Pablo Neruda - Sergio Ortega
Performer(s): Victor Jara



Asi como hoy matan negros
antes fueron mexicanos
asi matando chilenos
nicaraguenses, peruanos
se desataban los gringos
con instintos inhumanos

Quien les disputa el terreno
y quien de frente los reta
es un bandido chileno
es nuestro Joaquin Murieta

Un dia por la vereda
paso un caballo de seda
ahora por los caminos
galopa nuestro destino
y como dos amapolas
se encendieron sus pistolas

Quien les disputa el terreno
y quien de frente los reta
es un bandido chileno
es nuestro Joaquin Murieta

Ashes To Ashes


Ashes To Ashes
Composer(s): David Bowie
First release by: David Bowie - 1980
Covered by multiple other artists



Do you remember a guy that's been
In such an early song
I've heard a rumour from Ground Control
Oh no, don't say it's true

They got a message from the Action Man
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too
I've loved all I've needed love
Sordid details following"

The shrieking of nothing is killing
Just pictures of Jap girls in synthesis and I
Ain't got no money and I ain't got no hair
But I'm hoping to kick but the planet it's glowing

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

Time and again I tell myself
I'll stay clean tonight
But the little green wheels are following me
Oh no, not again
I'm stuck with a valuable friend
"I'm happy, hope you're happy too"
One flash of light but no smoking pistol

I never done good things
I never done bad things
I never did anything out of the blue, woh-o-oh
Want an axe to break the ice
Wanna come down right now

Ashes to ashes, funk to funky
We know Major Tom's a junkie
Strung out in heaven's high
Hitting an all-time low

My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom
My mother said to get things done
You'd better not mess with Major Tom

Do You Know, Do You Care?


Do You Know, Do You Care? Composer(s): Phil Collins Performer(s): London Starlight Orch.; Phil Collins



You said you would, you didn't and I want to know why
And don't make no excuses
You promised, you promised, you better explain
Though I don't know what the use is
You said you could, you couldn't, now why did you lie
You made it look so easy
You did it, why do it, what was your point?
Laughing while you tease me
Oh, do you know and do you care?
I said I did, I shouldn't cause the magic will go
It happened once before
You'll see it, you'll steal it and take it away
And then come back for more
Don't say you weren't, you were 'cause I saw you myself
It's too late for your reason
You're lying, you're lying, you've done it this time
I'm sick of all the cheating
Oh, well do you know and do you care?
'Cause I watch you
oo every day I watch you pass me by
I'll get you
Yes in the end I'll get you
Just watch me try
Oh you make it hard to be hard but I'm trying my best
Cause down inside I'm burning
You want it, you get it, now take it and run
I'll hide how much it's hurting
Oh, well do you know and do you care?
Oh, well do you know and do you care?

Ashes Of Love


Ashes Of Love
Composer(s): Anglin - Wright
Performer(s): Amazing Rhythm Aces
and multiple other artists



One Two Three Four

Ashes of love
Cold as ice
You made the debt
I paid the price
Our love was gone
There's no doubt
Ashes of love
Flames burned out

Love light that shined
In your eyes
Has gone out
To my surprise
We said goodbye
My heart bled
Now I live without
Your love instead

Ashes of love
Cold as ice
You made the debt
I paid the price
Our love was gone
There's no doubt
Ashes of love
Flames burned out

I trusted you
Our love could stand
Your every wish
Was my command
My heart tells me
I must forget
I loved you then
I love you yet

Ashes of love
Cold as ice
You made the debt
I paid the price
Our love was wrong
There's no doubt
Ashes of love
Flames burned out

Our love was wrong
There's no doubt
Ashes of love
Flames burned out

Do You Know Why?


Do You Know Why? Composer(s): Johnny Burke - James Van Heusen Performer(s): Frank Sinatra and multiple other artists



We used to say our love will stay
Until the cows come home
And then the cows came home
Do you know why?
We used to say we’ll love this way
Till Hades freezes over
And then it just froze over
Do you know why?

We thought we had the future, dancing a jig for us
Do you suppose our little dreams got too big for us?

We used to say our love will stay
Forever and a night
And now forever’s gone
Darling, do you know why?
Neither do I

Ashes And Glass


Ashes And Glass
Composer(s): Bob Weir - Andre Pessis
Performer(s): Bob Weir



What if all tomorow brings is ashes and glass
And I can't tell you child, "this too shall pass"
If all the world were windswept, cold and gray
And in the end there's nothing left to say

If all the silicon and best laid plans
Became the master, and the fall of man
If all the earth were baked to hard red clay
Not so far from where we are today

Ah well anyway

Come on darlin', swing and sway
Daddy gonna find us a better way
And if that better way don't float
Daddy gonna find us a tighter boat

And if that tighter boat don't sail
Grab a bucket babe, and start to bail
And if that bucket spring a leak
Little miss, we're up the creek

What if fire came raining on the hills
And mountains made of rusting Coupe De Villes
And all God's children find themselves alone
And all the poets took to throwing stones

Guess we're on our own
No way out and no way home

Come on baby, it's time to sing
Daddy gonna grab that old brass ring
And if that old brass ring don't fit
Daddy gonna get to fixin' it

And if that old brass ring stays broke
Daddy gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat don't bark
Gonna give that goat the old kick start
Old kick start

What if all that was left was ashes and glass
And I can't tell you child, "this too shall pass"
And if those four horsemen can't be turned away
And everyone's too paralyzed to pray

Too paralyzed to pray
And the jury's out on judgement day
And there ain't nothing left to say
Nothing left to say

Come on baby we can fly
Daddy's got a stack of alibi's
Alibi's shot full of holes
Come on child, let's rock and roll

And if that roll takes us to France
Teach them Froggies how to dance
Keep on dancin', sing the tune
We'll be dancin' all around the moon

And if that big old moon go bust
Well ashes to ashes, baby, dust to dust
Baby it's time for one last rave
Keep on dancin' on our own graves

On our own graves
Keep on dancing
On our own graves
Keep on dancing
Keep on dancing

Do You Know Who I Am?


Do You Know Who I Am?
Composer(s): Bobby Russell
Performer(s): Elvis Presley



Do you know who I am
Have you have any idea who I am
Yes it's been quite a while
And it's so good to see you again

It's so dark in this place
That I can't see your face
May believe Oh I see
Does he know who I am
And what once was between you and me

Do you know how I tried
Have you any idea how I tried
Not to keep you in sight
Do you know darling how much I cried

I remember you said
That you had to forget about me, and be free
Do you know who I am or have you forgot about me

Do you think there's a chance
You and I could start over again
Is there a prayer you still pray
Or has it just been too long and we're through
Well, what about you and him
Oh he's only a friend
Well I see there's still a chance for me

Well maybe some other time, in some other place
With our love in your heart and a smile on your face
You will know who I am
When that time comes you'll know who I am
You will know who I am
When that time comes you'll know who I am
You will know who I am
When that time comes you'll know who I am
