Beautiful People
Beautiful People
Composer(s): Kenny O'Dell
First release by: Kenny O'Dell - 1967
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you
You're so easy to make conversation with
And nobody else can please me that way
No one can say that you're a wallflower
Cause you've always got something groovy to say
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you
Talk about a girl with a sweet disposition
You oughta have a room full of ribbons
And wear 'em in your hair
every day of the week for me
People turn around they know we're the happiest
People today in this whole town
And it's no wonder that they kinda wonder
If we're not the grooviest couple around
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
I love you
I do - I do - I do
Mmmm - I love ya
You've just got to be one of the most
Beautiful people in the whole wide world
It's true - it's true - it's true
And I love you

L'artiste
Composer(s): J.P. Calvet - C. Level
Performer(s): Annie Cordy
Les jours de la s'maine
Et tous les week ends
Sur toutes les scènes
J'existe
Je fais des claquettes
Je fais des pirouettes
Et des galipettes
En piste
Un jour j'ai choisi
Le rire à tout prix
Et j'ai toujours pris
Mes risques
Je fais de mon mieux
Mes sauts périlleux
Je suis dans vos yeux
L'artiste
Même si j'ai tremblé
Avant mon entrée
Les fameux soirs de première
Devant le rideau
J'ai un numéro
Toujours rigolo
Pour plaire
Je dois ressembler
À la blonde dorée
Qui sourit sur mes affiches
Le rire aux éclats
C'est dans mon contrat
Tant pis si l'artiste
Est triste
Ma vie, mes amours
Passeront toujours
En supplément au programme
J'n'en demande pas plus
Je suis un gugusse
Bien avant d'être une femme
Mais ne croyez pas
Que j'ai malgré ça
Une vie meilleure ou pire
J'aime ce que je fais
Et je ne donnerais
Pas ma place pour
Un empire même si parfois
ma maison, mon chien
les fleurs du jardin
me manquent
c'est que j'ai choisi
de risquer ma vie
sur le fil des saltimbanques.
Mais vous êtes là
Ce soir c'est gala
Qui a dit que j'étais triste
Mesdames et messieurs
C'était pas sérieux
Un p'tit bravo pour l'artiste!

Beautiful Pea Green Boat
Beautiful Pea Green Boat
Composer(s): Laurie Anderson - Edwin Lear
Performer(s): Laurie Anderson
I'm lying in the shade of my family tree
I'm a branch that broke off
What will become of me?
Dear Mom, I'm lying here in this queen-sized bed
I'm thinking back
To all the stories you read to me
About the little animals who went to sea
In their beautiful pea green boat
But I can't remember now
What happened then?
Dear Mom, how does it end?
The owl and the pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat
They took some honey and lots of money
Wrapped in a five pound note
The owl looked up to the stars above
And sang to a small guitar
O lovely pussy! Pussy my love!
What a wonderful pussy you are
Let us be married
Too long we've tarried
But what shall we do for a ring?
What shall we do for a ring?
Hey! Hey!
They sailed away for a year and a day
To the land where the bong tree grows
And there in a wood a piggy wig stood
A ring at the end of his nose
A ring at the end of his nose
And hand in hand at the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the
By the light of the, by the light of the moon
And hand in hand at the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the
By the light of the, by the light of the moon
The moon, the moon
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

Performer(s): Peggy Lee
and multiple other artists
Laroo laroo lilli bolero
That's a magic sayin'
That I heard one day in Napoli
When a fortune teller
In a dim lit cellar said to me
"You say laroo lilli bolero
And just like that quick as an arrow
You'll find the boy who's meant for you"
and sure enough it all came true
Laroo laroo lilli bolero

Beautiful Noise
Beautiful Noise
Composer(s): Neil Diamond
Performer(s): Neil Diamond
and multiple other artists
What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the street
Got a beautiful sound
It's got a beautiful beat
It's a beautiful noise
Goin' on everywhere
Like the clickety-clack
Of a train on a track
It's got a rhytm to spare
It's a beautiful noise
And it's a sound that I love
And it fits me as well
As a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise
Comin' up from the park
It's the song of this kids
And it plays until dark
It's the song of the cars
On their furious flights
But there's even romance
In the way that they dance
To the beat of the lights
It's a beautiful noise
And it's a sound that I love
And ist makes me feel good
Like a hand in a glove
Yes it does, yes it does
What a beautiful noise
It's a beautiful noise
Made of joy and of strife
Like a symphony played
By the passing parade
It's the music of life
What a beautiful noise
Comin' into my room
And it's beggin' for me
Just to give it a tune

L'arlecchino Gitano
L'arlecchino Gitano
((French & German Versions: L'arlequin De Tolède (by Dalida); Komm, Senorita, Komm (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Ardiente - Hubert Giraud - Jean Dréjac
Performer(s): Dalida
Quando un vibrar di chitarra
Accorata e bizzarra
Nasce cercando la luna
Che risplende serena
Un arlecchino gitano
Arriva da lontano
E canta la serenata
Ai segni di Granata
E' primavera là nell'Estramadura
Sboccia la gioventù che pero non dura
Triste l'autunno già viene con la sera
Meglio percio baciar ogni bocca che puoi trovar
Quell'Arlecchino gitano
Che arrivo da lontano
Desta un vibrar di chitarra
Accorata e bizzarra
E sotto un raggio di luna
Rivede Colombina
Che ascolta la sereneta
Nel cielo di Granata
E'primavera là nell'Estramadura
Lei lo lascio perchè mai l'amore dura
E quando lo bacio non fu mai sincera
Meglio dimenticar alla bianca luna cantar
Quando un vibrar di chitarra
Accorata e bizzarra
Nasce cercando la luna
Che risplende serena
Un arlecchino gitano
Arriva da lontano
E canta la serenata
Ai sogni di Granata
E' primavera ancor nell'Estramadura
Egli ha vent'anni in cuor e non si dipera
Certo una bocca ancor troverà sincera
Che gli farà scordar chi lo volle un giorno lasciar

Beautiful Morning Glory
Beautiful Morning Glory
Composer(s): T. Texas Tyler
Performer(s): T. Texas Tyler
Beautiful morning glory kissed and caressed by the dew
Beautiful morning glory good morning glory to you
I've traveled all over the country I seldom sleep in a bed
When my feet get tired of walking I simply stand on my (head)
Beautiful morning glory...
I stopped at a house for a handout I didn't go there to beg
And I'd jumped the great big ol' bulldog and took her bite out off my (leg)
Beautiful morning glory...
I once had a bald headed girl friend I knocked her wig off at a dance
And when I stooped over to get it she kicked me right in my (ass)
Beautiful morning glory...
Good morning glory to you

L'arlequin De Tolède
L'arlequin De Tolède
((German & Italian Versions: Komm, Senorita, Komm (by Dalida); L'arlecchino Gitano (by Dalida))
Composer(s): Hubert Giraud - Jean Dréjac
Performer(s): Dalida
Une rose à sa guitare peuplée d'accords bizarres
Le blanc d'un rayon de lune jouant sur sa peau brune
Un Arlequin de Tolède passe dans la nuit tiède
Il chante la sérénade des amants de Grenade
Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure
Hier il avait vingt ans mais cela ne dure
Que le temps d'un instant car la vie est dure
Pour les jeunes amants qui veulent croire aux serments
Et l'Arlequin de Tolède perdu dans la nuit tiède
En caressant sa guitare trouve un accord bizarre
Un écho de mandoline il revoit Colombine
Vibrante à la sérénade d'un Pierrot de Grenade
Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure
Hier c'était lui l'amant mais cela ne dure
Que le temps d'un serment d'un je te le jure
Avec cette leçon il a fait une chanson
Une rose à sa guitare peuplée d'accords bizarres
Un Arlequin de Tolède perdu dans la nuit tiède
Entend sous la lune blonde tous les amants du monde
Qui chantent la sérénade des amants de Grenade
Hier c'était le printemps dans l'Estrémadure
Hier il avait vingt ans mais cela ne dure
Que le temps d'un instant pour une âme dure
Aujourd'hui c'est l'été et vive la liberté

Beautiful Maria Of My Soul
Beautiful Maria Of My Soul
((Spanish Version: Bella Maria de Mi Alma (by Antonio Banderas))
Composer(s): Robert Kraft - Arne Glimcher
Performer(s): Los Lobos - 1987
and multiple other artists
In the sunlight of your smile
In the summer of our life
In the magic of love
Storms above scattered away
Lovers dreaming in the night
Reaching for paradise
But as the dark shadows fade
Love slips away
On an empty stretch of beach
In the pattern of the waves
Drawing pictures with my hand
In the sand, I see your face
Skipping pebbles on the sea
Wishing for paradise
Sand castles crumble below
The restless tides ebb and flow
Listening to a shell
Hoping for your voice
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Though we'll always be apart
Locked forever in a dream
If I ever love again
Even then, nothing will change
And the taste of you remains
Clinging to paradise
But as the distance from you grows
All that my heart ever knows
Hunger for your kiss
Longing for your touch
Beautiful Maria of my soul
Filling all my nights
Haunting all my days
Beautiful Maria of my soul

First release by: Helen Merrill - 1955
Covered by multiple other artists
Beautiful love
You are a mystery
Beautiful love
What have you done to me
I was content till you came along
Thrilling me with your song
Beautiful love
I've ruined your paradise
Searching for my dream to realize
Reaching for heaven depending on you
Beautiful love
Will my dreams come true
Reaching for heaven depending on you
Beautiful love
Will my dreams come true

L'arche De Noë
L'arche De Noë
Performer(s): Sheila
C'est incroyable
Chaque fois que nous partons en vacances
On prend toujours trop d'affaires
Mais cette fois-ci pas question
Même si mes enfants me disent
Les animaux n'ont pas de chemise
Pas de robe, pas de valises
Ils nous ont vus faire nos bagages
Ils voudront être du voyage
Qu'est-ce qu'on fait?
On va décider
La chouette et ses lunettes
Quel regard elle a!
- On la prend, dis, maman?
Le lièvre aux grandes oreilles
Gambade déjà
- On le prend, dis, maman?
Le canari qui s'est blessé
On n'peut pas le laisser
Prends-le si tu veux
- On le prends dis maman?
Il guérira mieux
Et ton petit chien Framboise
Frétille déjà
- On le prend, dis maman?
L'agneau plein de bouclettes
Qui dort près de toi
- Prends-le, prends-le maman!
Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin ça ira
- La plus belle c'est maman
On se serrera
On trouve toujours de la place
Pour ceux qu'on aime
Et si en chemin tombe la pluie
Ce sera comme au Déluge aussi
Le chat et la souris blanche
Qui ne se quittent pas
- On les prend, dis, maman?
Et le canard sauvage, qui le nourrira?
- On le prend, dis maman?
Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin, ça ira
- La plus belle, c'est maman
On se serrera
La la la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman
La la la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman
Et sur la route on va penser
C'est l'Arche de Noë
Enfin, ça ira
- La plus belle, c'est maman
Va chercher ton papa
La la la ...
- La plus belle, c'est maman.

Beautiful Loser
Beautiful Loser
Composer(s): Bob Seger
Performer(s): Bob Seger; The Spiny Anteaters
He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man
He wants his home and security
He wants to live like a sailor at sea
Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall?
You realize you just can’t have it all
He’s your oldest and your best friend
If you need him, he’ll be there again
He’s always willing to be second best
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest
Beautiful loser, read it on the wall
And realize, you just can’t have it all
... you can’t have it all, you can’t have it all
Oh, oh, ... can’t have it all
He’ll never make any enemies
He won’t complain if he’s caught in a freeze
He’ll always ask, he’ll always say please
Beautiful loser, never take it all
’cause it’s easier, faster when you fall
You just don’t need it all
Oh, oh, ... you just don’t need it all

L'arc-En-Ciel D'un Quart D'heure
L'arc-En-Ciel D'un Quart D'heure
Performer(s): Georges Brassens
Cet arc-en-ciel qui nous étonne
Quand il se lève après la pluie
S'il insiste, il fait monotone
Et l'on se détourne de lui
L'adage a raison: la meilleure
Chose en traînant se dévalue
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu
Celui que l'aura populaire
Avait mis au gouvernail quand
Il fallait sauver la galère
En détresse dans l'ouragan
Passé péril en la demeure
Ne fut même pas réélu
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu
Cette adorable créature
Me répétait: "je t'aime tant
Qu'à ta mort, sur ta sépulture
Je me brûle vive à l'instant!"
À mon décès, l'ordonnateur(e)
Des pompes funèbres lui plut
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu
Ce cabotin naguère illustre
Et que la foule applaudissait
À tout rompre durant trois lustres
Nul à présent ne sait qui c'est
Aucune lueur ne demeure
De son étoile révolue
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Personne ne l'admire plus.
L'arc-en-ciel qui dure un quart d'heure
Est superflu

Beautiful Girl
Beautiful Girl
Composer(s): James L. Dempsey
I don't know why I call you my dear
I don't know why I feel so sincere
Why do I want you why am I glad
Why am I happy, why am I sad
Why do I smile when I ought to cry
Why do you say good-bye
Why am I yearning, my heart is burning
I know the reason why
You are the dearest you are the best
You are so different from all the rest
I love to gaze in those tender eyes,
A world of wealth is no greater prize
You have a charm that seems to be new
It thrills me thru and thru
Don't leave me lonely
I want you only
Nobody else but you
Beautiful girl
I love you, beautiful girl, I love you
I loved you truly for many a day
There's only one thing that my heart seems to say
Beautiful girl
You haunt me, beautiful girl
I want you I love your eyes
Your smile, your sighs
You beautiful, beautiful girl

L'arbre Va Tomber
L'arbre Va Tomber
Composer(s): Francis Cabrel
Performer(s): Francis Cabrel
L'arbre va tomber
Les branches salissaient les murs
Rien ne doit rester
Le monsieur veut garer sa voiture
Nous, on l'avait griffé
Juste pour mettre des flèches et des cœurs
Mais l'arbre va tomber
Le monde regarde ailleurs
L'arbre va tomber
Ça fera de la place au carrefour
L'homme est décidé
Et l'homme est le plus fort, toujours
C'est pas compliqué
Ça va pas lui prendre longtemps
Tout faire dégringoler
L'arbre avec les oiseaux dedans!
Y avait pourtant tellement de gens
Qui s'y abritaient
Et tellement qui s'y abritent encore
Toujours sur nous penché
Quand les averses tombaient
Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors
L'arbre va tomber
L'homme veut mesurer sa force
Et l'homme est décidé
La lame est déjà sur l'écorce
Y avait pourtant tellement de gens
Qui s'y abritaient
Et tellement qui s'y abritent encore
Toujours sur nous penché
Quand les averses tombaient
Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors
L'arbre va tomber
On se le partage déjà
Y a rien à regretter
C'était juste un morceau de bois
Un bout de forêt
Avancé trop près des maisons
Et pendant qu'on parlait
L'arbre est tombé pour de bon!
Y avait pourtant tellement de gens
Qui s'y abritaient
Et toutes ces nuits d'hiver
Quand les averses tombaient
T'as dû en voir passer
Des cortèges de paumés
Des orages, des météores
Et toutes ces nuits d'hiver
Quand les averses tombaient
Une vie d'arbre à coucher dehors
À perdre le nord
À coucher dehors... à coucher dehors

Beautiful Daughter
Beautiful Daughter
Composer(s): Roy Wood
Performer(s): The Move
Well it's nice in its way, "Yes", you know, some of it, not uh, not when they go naked
Uh, you are obviously not British people, where are you from? "I'm British
You're British, you were born in Britain
Where is you, where? "Stepney"
Stepney. Nice, um, what are your favorite British pop artists?
Um, well I don't have one anyway
Do you like reggae? It's my music
There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, see her face again
Blast the world, fruits of the morning...
Carry the weight of the heart in a storm
Suffer the dawn today, today
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break
Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share
Wanting you there today, today
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye
I'm crying, beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, again
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Your beautiful daughter made me younger yesterday
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay ...

Laramie
Laramie
Composer(s): Cyril J. Mockridge - Bill Olafson
Performer(s): Geoff Love; Los Aragon
Stranger ride carefully
Stay 'way from your gun
There's danger in Laramie
For men on the run
Your gray eyes shift warily
There's no room here for you
Just stay wise, this is Laramie
Keep traveling on through
Faster guns than yours
Have made the foolish play
The next time that you draw
May be the last
We're a peaceful town
We aim to stay that way
Our justice isn't fancy
But it's fast

Beautiful Child
Composer(s): Stevie Nicks
Performer(s): Fleetwood Mac
and multiple other artists
Beautiful child
Beautiful child
You are a beautiful child
And I am a fool once more
You fell in love when I was only ten
The years disappeared
Much has gone by since then
I bite my lip, can you send me away
You touch
I have no choice
I have to stay
I had to stay
Sleepless child
There is so little time
Your eyes say yes
But you don't say yes
I wish that you were mine
You say it will be harder in the morning
I wait for you to say, just go
Your hands, held mine so few hours
And I'm not a child anymore
I'm not a child anymore
I'm tall enough
To reach for the stars
I'm old enough
To love you from afar
To trusting... yes?
But then women usually are
I'm not a child anymore
No, I'm not a child, oh no
Tall enough to reach for the stars
I will do
As I'm told
Even if I never hold you again
I never hold you again
