It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier
It Makes A Fellow Proud To Be A Soldier
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
The heart of every man in our platoon must swell with pride
For the nation's youth, the cream of which is marching at his side
For the fascinating rules and regulations that we share
And the quaint and curious costumes that we're called upon to wear!
Now Al joined up to do his part, defending you and me
He wants to fight and bleed and kill, and die for liberty!
With the hell of war he's come to grips
Policing up the filter tips
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
When Pete was only in the seventh grade, he stabbed a cop!
He's real RA material, and he was glad to swop
His switch blade and his old zip gun
For a bayonet and a new M1
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
After Johnny got through basic traing, he
Was a soldier through and through, and he was done!
Its effects were so well rooted
That the next day he saluted
A good humour man, an usher and a nun!
Now Fran's an interlectual, brings a book to every meal
He likes the deep philosophers, like Norman Winston Peel
He thinks the army's just the thing
Because he finds it broadening
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Now Ed flunked out of second grade and never finished school
He doesn't know a shelter half from an entrenching tool!
But he's going to be a big success
He heads his class at OCS
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Our old mess sergeant's taste buds had been shot off in the war
But his savoury collations add to our esprit de corps!
To think of all the marvellous ways
They're using plastics nowadays
It makes a fella proud to be a soldier!
Our lieutenant is the up and coming type
Played with soldiers as a boy you just can bet!
It is written in the stars
He will get his captains' bars
But he hasn't got enough box tops yet!
Our captain has a handicap to cope with, sad to tell
He's from Georgia and he doesn't speak the language very well!
He used to be, so rumour has
The dean of men at Alcatraz
It makes a fella proud to be
What as a kid I vowed to be
what luck to be allowed to be
A soldier!
At ease!

Brazil
Brazil
Composer(s): Bob Russell; Ary Barroso
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly murmured "Someday soon"
We kissed and clung together
Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil
Then, tomorrow was another day
The morning found me miles away
With still a million things to say
Now, when twilight dims the sky above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing that I'm certain of
Return I will to old Brazil
That old Brazil
Man, it's old in Brazil
Brazil, Brazil

She's My Girl (Tom Lehrer)
She's My Girl
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer
Performer(s): Tom Lehrer
Sharks gotta swim and bats gotta fly
I gotta love one woman till I die
To Ed or Dick or Bob
She may be just a slob
But to me, well she's my girl!
In Winter the bedroom is one large ice cube
And she squeezes the toothpaste from the middle of the tube!
Her hairs in the sink
Have driven me to drink
But she's my girl
She's my girl
She's my girl and I love her!
The girl that I lament for
The girl my money spent for
The girl my back is bent for
The girl I owe the rent for
The girl I gave up Lent for
Is the girl that heaven meant for me!
So for breakfast she makes coffee that tastes like shampoo
I come for dinner and get peanut butter stew
Or if I'm in luck
It's broiled hockey puck!
But oh well
What the hell!
She's my girl and I love her!

Just let a smile be your umbrella

Nous avons joué notre vie ensemble
Et puis un beau jour la chance a tourné
On ne finira pas la partie ensemble
Et chacun s'en va seul de son côté
Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu
On s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus
J'étais sure de moi je vivais tranquille
Et ta main dans ma main je croisais les doigts
Et tous les tricheurs de la grande ville
Ne me faisaient pas peur quand tu étais là
Mais les dés sont jetés pair impair,rouges ou noirs
qui est le plus heureux de nous deux ce soir
Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu
on s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus...
Est-ce qu'elle est ta complice cette partenaire
Que tu as choisi pour me remplacer
En amour la loi c'est comme à la guerre
Le plus fort des deux reste le dernier
Et notre amour si beau finit pourtant si mal
On le juge à huis clos dans un tribunal
Bravo tu as gagné et moi j'ai tout perdu
on s'est tellement aimés on ne s'aime plus...
Nous avons joué notre vie ensemble
Et puis un beau jour la chance a tourné
On ne finira pas la partie ensemble
Et chacun s'en va seul de son côté
Bravo tu as gagné Bravo tu as gagné
Il a gagné j'ai tout perdu on s'est aimé on n'aime plus
Amour si bon pourtant si mal juge à huit clos...........

Bravo Pour Le Clown!
Bravo Pour Le Clown!
Composer(s): Henri Contet; Marcel Louiguy
Originally performed by: Edith Piaf
Un clown est mon ami
Un clown bien ridicule
Et dont le nom s'écrit
En gifles majuscules
Pas beau pour un empire
Plus triste qu'un chapeau
Il boit d'énormes rires
Et mange des bravos
Pour ton nez qui s'allume
Bravo! Bravo!
Tes cheveux que l'on plume
Bravo! Bravo!
Tu croques des assiettes
Assis sur un jet d'eau
Tu ronges des paillettes
Tordu dans un tonneau
Pour ton nez qui s'allume
Bravo! Bravo!
Tes cheveux que l'on plume
Bravo! Bravo!
La foule aux grandes mains
S'accroche à ses oreilles
Lui vole ses chagrins
Et vide ses bouteilles
Son coeur qui se dévisse
Ne peut les attrister
C'est là qu'ils applaudissent
La vie qu'il a ratée!
Pour ta femme infidèle
Bravo! Bravo!
Et tu fais la vaisselle
Bravo! Bravo!
Ta vie est un reproche
Qui claque dans ton dos
Ton fils te fait les poches
Et toi, tu fais l'idiot
Pour ta femme infidèle
Bravo! Bravo!
Et tu fais la vaisselle
Bravo! Bravo!
Le cirque est déserté
Le rire est inutile
Mon clown est enfermé
Dans un certain asile
Succès de camisole
Bravos de cabanon
Des mains devenues folles
Lui battent leur chanson
Je suis roi et je règne
Bravo! Bravo!
J'ai des rires qui saignent
Bravo! Bravo!
Venez, que l'on m'acclame
J'ai fait mon numéro
Tout en jetant ma femme
Du haut du chapiteau
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Bravo!

Lessons In Love (Pierde El Amor)
Lessons In Love (Pierde El Amor)
Composer(s): M. King - W. Badarou - R. Gould
Performer(s): Raphael
Dónde está nuestro amor
No sé bien cual fue el error
Y aunque duela la verdad
Nunca tiene vuelta atrás
Lifeboat lies lost at sea
I’ve been trying to reach your shore
Waves of doubt keep drowning me
All the dreams that we were building
We never fulfilled them
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love
For restless eyes egos burn
And the mold is hard to break
Now we've waded in too deep
But and love is overboard
Tú por mí, yo por ti
Intentando descubrir
Qué lección se nos pasó
All the homes that we were building
We never lived in
Could be better, should be better
Lessons in love
If we lose the time before us
The future will ignore us
We should use it, we could use it
Lessons in love
Lost without love
Lessons in love
Me duele la verdad
Lessons in love
Y busco una señal
Lessons in love
Me dices que te vas
Lessons in love
Y yo no sé olvidar

Bravo Monsieur Le Monde
Bravo Monsieur Le Monde
Dutch Title: Bravo
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain
Originally performed by: Michel Fugain
Covered by: Ann Christy
Bravo, Monsieur le monde
Chapeau, Monsieur le monde
Même quand les gens diront
Que vous ne tournez pas toujours très rond
Bravo, pour vos montagnes
C'est beau, c'est formidable
Compliment pour vos saisons
Qui nous donnent des idées de chansons
Bravo, la mer
On n'a jamais trouvé un vert plus bleu
Un bleu plus vert
Aucune symphonie
N'est riche d'autant d'harmonie
Qu'un merveilleux tonnerre
Qui fait l'amour avec la pluie
Bravo, le vent
Qui fait ramper les blés
Qui fait trembler les océans
Bravo pour le soleil
Et la colère du volcan
Bravo pour l'arc-en-ciel
Qui met de la joie dans le cœur d'un enfant
Bravo, Monsieur le monde
Chapeau, Monsieur le monde
Nous vous demandons pardon
Pour tous ceux qui vous abîmerons
Bravo, Monsieur le monde
Bravo, pour la colombe
Si vous lui laissez la vie
Nous vous dirons simplement merci

Composer(s): Marc Hillman; Michel Jouveaux; Patrick Roffe
Performer(s): Dalida
Mes cheveux blonds sont blonds
Depuis bien trop longtemps
Et mon frère est parti là-bas en Italie
Boulevard des Capucines
L'Olympia tombe en ruine
L'an 2000 est venu personne ne chante plus
Il n'y a plus en radio que des mots et des mots
Mais il n'y a que moi que ne m'habitue pas
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo
comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo comme au temps des rappels
Si quelqu'un se rappelle
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo côté cœur côté cour
C'est mon seul mot d'amour
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo que je puisse partir
Que je puisse dormir
Je n'ai eu pour histoire que vos yeux dans le noir
Et pour tout nid d'amour qu'un rideau de velours
Comme des italiens qui parlent avec les mains
Vos applaudissements c'était un peu mon sang
Des hommes ont essayé eux aussi de m'aimer
Mais aucun n'est resté c'est vous qui avez gagné
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo
comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo comme au temps des rappels
Si quelqu'un se rappelle
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo côté cœur côté cour
C'est mon seul mot d'amour
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo que je puisse partir
Que je puisse dormir
Mes robes de lumière dorment sous la poussière
Mais on fera semblant qu'elles m'aillent comme avant
Je vais me maquiller attendez vous verrez
que je peux être belle comme au temps de Bruxelles
Ne partez pas encore je vais faire un décor
Deux ou trois projecteurs j'entends quelqu'un...
Qui pleure
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo
Comme on donne un baiser juste un petit dernier
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo
Comme au temps des rappels si quelqu'un se rappelle
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo côté cœur côté cour
C'est mon seul mot d'amour
Bravo
Donnez-moi un bravo que je puisse partir
que je puisse dormir
Bravo

Lesson In Leavin'
Lesson In Leavin'
Composer(s): Randy Goodrum - Brent Maher
Performer(s): Dottie West
and multiple other artists
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you what you've been givin'
And I hope that I'm around to watch 'em knock you down
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that sort of thing
Over and over again
You're a fool-hearted man
I hear you been askin' about me from some of my friends
But you better believe I'm not going through that again
You're the kind of man a woman thinks she can change
But the only thing changin' is my way of thinkin'
And I'm thinkin' that baby, someday
Somebody's gonna give' you a lesson in losin'
Somebody's gonna do to you what you've been doin'
And I hope that I'm around to watch 'em knock you down
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in hurtin'
Somebody's gonna leave you with your fire burnin'
With no way to put it out
There ain't no doubt
You're a fool-hearted man
You're the kind of man a woman thinks she can change
The only thing changin' is my way of thinkin'
And I'm thinkin' that baby, someday
Somebody's gonna give you a lesson in leavin'
Somebody's gonna give you back what you've been givln'
And I hope that I'm around to watch 'em knock you down
It's like you to love 'em and leave 'em
Just like you loved me and left me
It's like you to do that sort of thing
Over and over again
You're a fool-hearted man

Bravo
French Title: Bravo Monsieur Le Monde
Composer(s): Pierre Delanoë; Michel Fugain; P. Els
Performer(s): Ann Christy
Bravo
Voor deze aarde
Een toast
Op al die jaren
Vol van eindeloos geduld
Op de pracht waarmee jij 't leven vult
Bravo
Voor deze bomen
Die staan en steen intomen
Voor de bloem
Die fier en fraai
Elke dag een nieuw lied doet ontstaan
En voor de zee
Die ongestoord en speels de buien op het strand vergeet
En voor de wind die plagend in het hoge koren speelt
Of uitgelaten met de regen dolle pret beleefd
En voor de zon
Die alle kleuren van je regenboog nieuw leven geeft
Voor elke ster die fonkelend door je hoge hemel zweeft
Bravo voor elk seizoen waar jij een lied voor schreef, een symfonie
Bravo
Voor moeder aarde
In ruil voor al die jaren
Doet de mens je zoveel pijn
En vervangt je kleur door zwart en grijs
Bravo
Voor moeder aarde
Geen dank voor al die jaren
Heeft de mens geen tijd voor jou
En dan dat elk kind veel van je houdt

Less Of Me
Less Of Me
Composer(s): Glen Campbell
First release by: Glen Campbell - 1965
Covered by multiple other artists
Let me be a little kinder
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me
Let me praise a little more
Let me be when I am weary
Just a little bit more cheery
Think a little more of others
And a little less of me
Let me be a little braver
When temptation bids me waver
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be
Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less of me
Let me be when I am weary
Just a little bit more cheery
Let me serve a little better
Those that I am strivin' for
Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker
Think a little more of others
And a little less of me

L'espion
L'espion
Performer(s): Michel Pagliaro
Tracké dans un désert de solitude
Par un ange que l'obsession brûle
Armé d'amour
La passion ton seul recours
Victime de tes fantaisies
La moindre résistance est impossible
Tes jours sont comptés
La passion poursuit ses habitudes
Rien ne rattrape le temps perdu
Ton âme est ailleurs
Tu es l'esclave de ton coeur
Et tu dis
All I want to do
Is to be with you
Et tu dis
All I want to do
Is to be with you
Perdu dans l'underground
Les jours se suivent et se ressemblent
Rien n'est plus fort
La fin trouve toujours son homme
Prisonnier de tes illusions
Tu risques le danger à chaque instant
Tout part en fumée
Sous les flammes de ton baiser
Et tu dis
All I want to do
Is to be with you
Et tu dis
All I want to do
Is to be with you
Sur les boulevards des rêves brisés
Personne ne peut s'échapper
Tout sombre dans l'oubli
Le jour tourne à la nuit
La mise en scène est sans rappel
L'amour est la seule raison d'être
Jusqu'à la dernière heure
Tu seras l'esclave de ton coeur
Et tu dis
All I want to do
Is to be with you
Et tu dis
All I want to do
Is to be with you
Et tu dis
All I want to do
Is to be with you
Et tu dis
All I want to do
Is to be with you

Brave Sir Robin
Brave Sir Robin
Composer(s): Eric Idle; Innes; Neil
Performer(s): Monty Python
Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sir Robin
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And all his limbs hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off and his penis...
He is brave Sir Robin,
Brave Sir Robin who...
To fight and...............
Brave Sir Robin ran away
Bravely, ran away...away...
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely talking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sir Robin
