Make Believe (Jimmie Lunceford)
Make Believe
Composer(s): Jerome Kern; Oscar Hammerstein II
Performer(s): Jimmie Lunceford
and various other artists
The game of "just supposing" is the sweetest game I know
Our dreams are more romantic than the world we see
And if the things we dream about don't happen to be so
That's just an unimportant technicality....
We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss, or two, or three?
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth, I do
Your pardon I pray, 'twas too much to say
The words that betray my heart
We only pretend, you do not offend
In playing a lover's part
Though the cold and brutal fact is you and I have never met
We need not mind convention's P's and Q's
If we put our thoughts in practice we can banish all regret
Imagining most anything we choose....
We could make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you? Couldn't I? Couldn't we
Make believe our lips are blending
In a phantom kiss or two, or three?
Might as well make believe I love you
For to tell the truth, I do

Little Girl Blue
Little Girl Blue
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
First performance by: Gloria Grafton - 1935
Covered by multiple other artists
When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold
Sit there, and count your fingers
What can you do?
Old girl, you're through
Sit there, and count your little fingers
Unlucky, litle girl blue
Sit there, and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on is the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?
No use, old girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender
Blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?

Make A Little Magic
Make A Little Magic
Composer(s): Bob Carpenter; Jeff Hanna; Richard Hathaway
Performer(s): The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band; Nicolette Larson
I don't need the same excuses
All this talk is really useless
You run for cover
Everytime I'm close to you
Don't want to hear about the others
There's something here we should discover
Let's make a little magic
Before the night is through
Oh, you've seen it all before
And heard the same lines
But if you're willing to take a chance
It could be all right, so fine
We'll find ourselves dancing by firelight
So don't you try to change the subject
Or try to put yourself above it
A boy could get pneumonia sitting next to you
That's true
A little sleep is all we're losing
It's up to us to do the choosing
Let's make a little magic before the night is through
Make a little magic before the night is through
Ooh, to the blue skies
Where no one can reach us
It may sound crazy but just hold on tight
Never has a love run deeper
Baby my heart is true
Baby my heart is true
A little sleep is all we're losing
It's up to us to do the choosing
Let's make a little magic before the night is through

Covered by multiple other artists
Hey, little girl, you don't have to hide nothin' no more
You didn't do nothin' that hadn't been done before
Little girl thought she wouldn't get caught, you see
She thought she'd get away with goin' out on me, yeah
Other girls did it, you didn't think of nothin' new
You went out on me, so other girls did it too
You can leave, little girl, I don't want you 'round no more
If you come knockin', you won't get past my door... yeah!
You got nothin' to hide and everybody knows it's true
Too bad, little girl, it's all over for you... ha-ha-ha-ha

Make A Left And Then A Right
Make A Left And Then A Right
Composer(s): Johnny Mosby; Jonie Mosby;
Bob Laswell; Speedy Price
Performer(s): John & Jonie Mosby
You make a left and then a right
Go down three blocks, look for a light
And if it's on, come on in
But if it's off, he's home again
I met an old friend the other night
We danced so close, she held me tight
I love you but I'm tied down
Here's my address, please come around
You make a left and then a right
Go down three blocks, look for a light
And if it's on, come on in
But if it's off, he's home again
He's there again so I'll go on
I'll try tomorrow, he may be gone
If he's out drinking, he won't be home
So I'm sure I'll be alone
You make a left and then a right
Go down three blocks, look for a light
And if it's on, come on in
But if it's off, he's home again
You make a left and then a right
Go down three blocks, look for a light
And if it's on, come on in
But if it's off, he's home again

You've been mistreated, little girl, but I swear, I swear it'll be outgrown

Performer(s): Aerosmith
Major
Major Barbara sits in the fields
And waits for her crops to grow
She sits in a chair
She made out of wood
So many, many years ago
Major, why don't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow
She waits all day
And hopes through the night
For a new day that might show
A bright yellow sun
That'll make the crops come
And let the old days go
Major, why won't they grow
You've given' them water and hope
Major, why won't they grow
Major
Look out in your fields
Tell me what do you see shinin' through

Look after your fields
And your fields will look after you
Yes they do
Yes they do
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You've given' them water and hope

Little Ghetto Boy
Composer(s): Edward Howard - Earl DeRouen
First release by: Donny Hathaway - 1972
Covered by multiple other artists
Little ghetto boy, playing in the ghetto street
Whatcha' gonna do when you grow up
and have to face responsiblity?
Will you spend your days and nights in the pool room?
Will you sell caps of madness to the neighborhood?
Little ghetto boy
You already know how proud life can be
'cause you've seen so much pain and misery
Little ghetto boy
Your daddy was blown away
He robbed that grocery store
Don't you know that was a sad, sad old day?
All your young life
You've seen such misery and pain
The world is a cruel place to live
and it ain't gonna change
You're so young
You've got so far to go on
and don't think you'll reach your goal
Young man, little ghetto boy, look at you
Little ghetto boy
When, when, when you become a man
you can make things change if you just take the stand
You gotta believe it yourself in all you do
You've gotta fight to make it better
then you will see how others will start believing to
Then, my son, things will start to get better
Everything has got to get better
Everything has got to get better ...

Maître Pierre
Maître Pierre
Composer(s): Jacques Plante; Henri Betti
Performer(s): Georges Guétary
and various other artists
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre
Il fait bon dans votre moulin
Le froment vol' dans la lumière
Et partout ça sent bon le grain
J'avais douze ans et j'étais haut comme trois pommes
Qu'en me voyant vous me disiez d'un ton bonhomme
Voyez-moi ce sacré p'tit drôle
Le métier lui semble à son goût
Prends ce sac, mets-le sur l'épaule
Maître Pierre, il fait bon chez vous
Hardi! Hardi petit gars
Bonnet sur l'œil, sourire aux lèvres
Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras
Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre
Je m'souviens de mes dix-huit ans
Votre fille était écolière
Que déjà, moi je l'aimais tant
Et quand plus tard je l'épousai devenue grande
Tout le village est venu danser dans la grange
Et toujours de ses grandes ailes
Le moulin continue tout doux
Le tic-tac de son cœur fidèle
Maître Pierre, il fait bon chez vous
Hardi! Hardi petit gars
Bonnet sur l'œil, sourire aux lèvres
Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras
Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas
Il fait bon chez vous maître Pierre
A trente ans j'aimais mon métier
J'adorais ma jolie meunière
C'est alors que vous nous quittiez
Mais quand du ciel vous regardez par la campagne
Tous ce moulins tournant du Nord à la Bretagne
Vous pensez avec un sourire
Qu'on est là pour en mettre un coup
Et qu'on a bien raison de dire
Maître Pierre il fait bon chez vous
Hardi! Hardi petit gars
Bonnet sur l'œil, sourire aux lèvres
Hardi! tant qu'il a deux bras
Un bon meunier ne s'arrête pas

Maisons Blanches
Maisons Blanches
Composer(s): Marc Estève; Enrico Macias
Performer(s): Enrico Macias
On a tous une maison blanche, sur un coin de doriers
Quatre murs au soleil, qu'on habille en dimanche
Pour l'été, les jours feriers
Un chalet, sous les flocons, bungalow sur l'océan
Aquitaine, il y fait bon
Au milieu des rires et des cris d'enfants
Aquitaine, il y fait bon
Loin de ces bruits, qu'en semaine on entend
On a tous une maison blanche
Cachée derrière deux palmiers
Qui remurent quand le jour flanche
Quelques feuilles, j'en ai par les années
On a tous une maison blanche
Eclairée par les rosiers
Qui étalent leurs cous, leurs franches
Du rouge au plus profond des violiers
On a tous une maison blanche
Qui se moque du mauvais temps
On se laisse bercer, comme un nid dans les branches
Qui balancent au grès du vent
Un radeau sur les nuages
Une case sur l'Amazone
Où l'amour en paysage, frappe aux carreaux de nos soirs et d'automne
Où l'amour prend le visage, de ces refrains que le monde fredonne
On a tous une maison blanche
Cachée derrière deux palmiers
Qui remurent quand le jour flanche
Quelques feuilles, j'en ai par les années
On a tous une maison blanche, éclairée par les rosiers
Qui étalent leurs cous, leurs franches
Du rouge au plus profond des violiers
Cette maison tant de fois rêvée
Mon amour, je t'en offre les clefs
Mon amour, je t'en offre les clefs

Little Folks
Little Folks
Composer(s): Charlie Daniels
Performer(s): Charlie Daniels
Little folks are people too
Very much like me and you
The little things they say and do
They kinda make your day
Foolishness and common sense
Through the eyes of innocence
Skip a rope or jump a fence
Gettin' in the way
Daddy, why are you so tall?
Daddy, why am I so small?
Daddy, who makes snowflakes fall?
Could it be the Lord?
Chasing puppies, climbin' trees
Bumping heads and skinnin' knees
It's not very hard to see
That kids are God's reward
Little folks get down and out
The girls will cry and boys will pout
Before you know what it's about
They're smiling once again
Colored kites on summer breeze
Jingle Bells and Christmas trees
Too soon they're only memories
Do you remember when?
Daddy, what makes eagles fly?
What makes clouds float in the sky?
And Daddy, if I really try
Will I grow up someday?
But little folks slip through our hands
Like so many grains of sand
You'd best enjoy them while you can
So soon they fly away ...

Mais Si Je N'ai Rien
Mais Si Je N'ai Rien
Composer(s): Bernard Dimey; Francis Laï
Performer(s): Yves Montand
J'aurai du soleil au long des années
J'aurai la clarté de tes yeux ouverts
L'amour fleurissant au long des allées
Nous nous en irons sous les arbres verts
Au long des chemins de notre aventure
Et dans nos jardins tous peuplés d'oiseaux
Là nous irons boire à des sources pures
Qui réfléchiront ton regard dans l'eau
{Refrain:}
Mais, si je n'ai rien
Aime-moi quand même
Aimons-nous quand même
Et tout sera bien
Nous aurons la vie pour nous toute entière
Et j'aurai le temps d'apprendre à t'aimer
Et le temps d'attendre tout ce que j'espère
Pour voir si l'amour tient ce qu'il promet
J'aurai des châteaux au fond des provinces
Qui domineront du haut de leurs tours
Ceux de tous les rois, ceux de tous les princes
Et nous vivrons là jusqu'au dernier jour
{au Refrain}
J'aurai des bateaux sur la mer de chine
Chargés de parfums, de soies, de bijoux
Et de diamants bleus et de perles fines
Oui, j'aurai pour toi tout l'or du Pérou
Les jours passeront si tu le désires
Sans que le soleil se couche jamais
Et j'aurai l'éclat de ton beau sourire
Et le bonheur fou de pouvoir t'aimer
{au Refrain}

Little Egypt (Ying-Yang)
Composer(s): Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller
First release by: The Coasters - 1961
Covered by multiple other artists
I went and bought myself a ticket and
I sat down in the very first row, wo wo
They pulled the curtain but then when
they turned the spotlight way down low, wo wo
little Egypt came out strotting
wearing nothing but a button and a bow, wo wo
singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah''
She had a ruby on her tummy and
a diamond big as Texas on her toe, wo wo
She let her hair down and
she did the hoochie koochie real slow, wo wo
When she did her special number on a zebra skin
I thought she'd stop the show, wo wo
singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!"
She did a triple somersault and when she hit the ground
she winked at the audience and then she turned around
She had a picture of a cowboy tattooed on her spine
saying Phoenix, Arizona, nineteen forty-nine
Yeah, but let me tell you people
little Egypt doesn't dance there anymore, wo wo
She's too busy mopping and
a taking care of shopping at the store, wo wo
'Cause we got seven kids and
all day long they crawl around the floor, wo wo
singing, "Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah! Yeah yeah!"

Mais Qu'est-Ce Que J'ai?
Composer(s): Edith Piaf; Henri Betti
Performer(s): Yves Montand; Nila Cara
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai à tant l'aimer
Que ça me donne envie de crier
Sur tous les toits, elle est à moi
J'aurais l'air fin si je faisais ça
C'est pas normal me direz-vous
D'aimer comme ça être fou!
Je le suis bien oui mais voilà
Je n'y peux rien c'est malgré moi
Et quand ça me prend y'a rien à faire
Je l'aime tant c'est merveilleux
Je ne vis plus sur cette terre, lorsque je rêve à ses yeux
A ses yeux bleus comme l'azur, a ses cheveux, d'un blond si pur
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai à tant l'aimer
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai
L'amour c'est vraiment extraordinaire
Je n'ai plus du tout les pieds sur la terre
Tous mes copains maintenant se moquent de moi, car au plus loin que je les aperçois
Allez ça y est, me voilà reparti!
Elle a cela, elle a ceci
Oui, oui qui disent on voit très bien
Ces idiots n'y comprennent rien!
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai à tant l'aimer
Que ça me donne envie de crier
Sur tous les toits, elle est à moi
J'aurais l'air fin si je faisais ça
C'est merveilleux un grand amour
Quand c'est basé sur du toujours
Pour un rien, je suis malheureux, pour encore moins je suis heureux
Et quand ça me reprend y'a rien à faire
Je l'aime tant c'est merveilleux
Je ne vis plus sur cette terre, lorsque je rêve à ses yeux
A ses yeux bleus comme l'azur, a ses cheveux d'un blond si pur
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai à tant l'aimer
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai
Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai

Little Dutch Mill
Little Dutch Mill
Composer(s): Harry Barris - Ralph Freed
Performer(s): Bing Crosby
and multiple other artists
Far across the sea in Holland
In the land of wooden shoes
There's a story nearly everyone knows
You may never be in Holland
So I know you will excuse
If here and now I tell you how it goes
There's a little Dutch mill
On a little Dutch hill
Where the little Dutch stars shine bright
Now a little Dutch boy
And his little Dutch Girl
Fell in love by the mill one night
Up above, the Dutch moon made the scene complete
They both had so much moon, that it was a real Dutch treat
So the little Dutch boy and the little Dutch Girl
Bought the little Dutch mill on the little Dutch hill
And they've added a touch of a little Dutch family

Mais Quand Le Matin
Composer(s): Eric Charden; Claude François; Giles Thibaut
Originally performed by: Claude François
Covered by: AS Dragon
Des arbres géants
Couverts de fleurs de sang
Rampent vers moi
Je voudrais fuir mais je ne peux pas
Je pousse un grand cri
J'me réveille dans mon lit
Mas mains tremblent
Je n'y peux rien j'ai peur de la nuit
{Refrain:}
Mais quand le matin
Je vois le soleil le matin
Aussitôt j'oublie
Les angoisses de la nuit
Mais quand le matin
Je vois le ciel bleu le matin
Je respire enfin
Et la vie me revient
Je vole dans le ciel
Je suis bien, j'ai des ailes
Adieu la terre
Mes années claires
Je tombe comme une pierre
Je me lève d'un bond
Quelqu'un frappe au plafond
J'ai dû crier
Je n'y peux rien j'ai peur de la nuit
{au Refrain}
Je me sens si seul
J'ai besoin de quelqu'un
Je l'appelle
Où est la fille qui manque à mes nuits
Le lui tends les mains
Je lui offre ma vie
Je suis trop seul
Je n'y peux rien j'ai peur de la nuit

Little Dutch Girl
Composer(s): Mel Tillis - Wayne Walker
Performer(s): George Morgan
Far across the sea in the land of the windmill
I met a girl, her eyes were sparkling blue
Her hair was the color of the northern sunset
And upon her feet, she sported wooden shoes
We walked through the fields of red and yellow tulips
Then I kissed her sweet lips - it set my heart a-whirl
But the time came for leavin', now my poor heart is grievin'
'Cause it holds a memory of a Little Dutch Girl
Far across the sea in the land of the windmill
I met a girl, her eyes were sparkling blue
Her hair was the color of the northern sunset
And upon her feet, she sported wooden shoes
We walked through the fields of red and yellow tulips
Then I kissed her sweet lips - it set my heart a-whirl
But the time came for leavin', now my poor heart is grievin'
'Cause it holds a memory of a Little Dutch Girl
