Look At Me (Bobby Darin)
Look At Me
Composer(s): Bobby Darin - Randy Newman
Performer(s): Bobby Darin
Look at me
This at least you owe me
Just a glance to show me
That you really care
Look at me
Pride is taken from me
And tears just don't become me
But they're always there
Just one look
One look will do
That's all it took
To make me fall in love with you
Please turn around
I'll be looking for you
Waiting to adore you
Baby, look at me
Just one look
One look will do
That's all it took
To make me fall in love with you
So turn around
I'll be looking for you
Waiting to adore you
Baby, look at me

Seven Days To A Holiday
Seven Days To A Holiday
Composer(s): Cass; Myers
Performer(s): Cliff Richard & The Shadows
I’ve got it! (Got what?)
Got this bus, London Transport said, "OK"
(OK? OK to what?)
OK to use this bus for transport on our holiday
They’re with it (With what?)
With the plan that I have landed them today
(What plan?) (That’s right, what plan?)
If we can do it once, they’ll back us all the way
7 Days to a holiday and there’s such a lot to do
Come on fellas, it’s up to you
we’re in an awful stew
get us out of this spot
Are you with us, or not?
6 Days to a holiday, and this bus must look like new
Shiny bright as a birthday gift
Give it a real face-lift
and its body the sheen, of a top beauty queen
5 More days, just 5 more days
to fix up dozens of things
Let’s spring-clean it, from front to rear
(Yes, I've cleaned all the springs!)
4 Days to a holiday and we know before we’re through
our bus will be safer than any bank
tough as an army tank
We will check everywhere, though it’s hard to get there
3 Days to a holiday and those sunny skies of blue
By the time that it leaves our shed
our bus will be bright red
and we know that we will...
(...paint Pa-ree redder still!
Voilà!)
2 Days to a holiday, all of the inside to do
so this old London bus can pass, as a hotel first class
We’ll make everything fit
Including...(Ah, yes, that’s it)
1 More day, just one more day
so we must not waste an hour
Come on let’s get the plumbing in
(Cor, blimey...what a shower!
Off we go on our holiday, and it’s you we have to thank...
"Fellas, I cannot thank you enough for helping us with our bus"

There's a cabin in the pines
In the hills of Caroline
And a blue-eyed girl is waiting there for me

And the cabin in the hills of Caroline
Oh, the cabin in the shadow of the pines
And the blue-eyed girl down in Caroline
Someday she'll be my wife and we'll live a happy life
In a cabin in the hills of Caroline
I'm packin my grip gonna take a long long trip
Back to the hills of Caroline
I want to see that blue-eyed girl, she's the sweetest in the world
And the cabin in the hills of Caroline
And when it's late at night, and the moon is shinin bright
And the whipoorwill is callin from the hill
Then I'll tell her of my love, beneath the stars above
How I love her and I know I always will

Performer(s): Jimmy Buffett; W.O. Smith Music School Singers
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Snowbirds fill the air
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Lots of presents everywhere
We don't live in a hurry
Send away for mistletoe
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Got everything but snow
Lights are blowing in the palm trees
Stockings hanging from the mast
Santa riding on a dolphin
Don't you want to make it
Don't you want to make it last
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Snowbirds fill the air
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Lots of presents everywhere
We don't live in a hurry
Send away for mistletoe
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Got everything but snow
Snow?
Suntanned children sleeping
Hoping Santa will come true
Christmas morning marlin leaping
Oh it's papa's birthday
Mister Buffett's birthday too!
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Snowbirds fill the air
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Good feelings everywhere
We don't live in a hurry
Send away for mistletoe
It's Christmas in the Caribbean
Got everything but snow
Christmas in the Caribbean
Got everything but snow
Christmas in the Caribbean
Got everything but snow
Christmas in the Caribbean
Got everything but snow
Christmas in the Caribbean
Got everything but snow

Grandpa runnin' close behind
Look at Granny run, run, ah ... there's something on Grand-daddy's mind

Look at Granny run, run, faster than a Greyhound bus (Granny, you better run)
Look at Granny run, run, now Grandpa is gettin' serious (Somebody's calling you)

Well, look at Granny run, run
Grandpa runnin' closer now
No matter how she run, run, he gonna catch her anyhow
Well, he jumped up and he began to shout
Granny come a-running with the mouth poked out
Said, "Look here, pretty Mama, stop your carrying on
All I want's a little loving just before I'm gone
Ain't nothing wrong"
Hear my Lord, singing
Great, gosh, almighty
(You better run)
(Somebody's calling you)
Look at Granny run, run.
Well, I feel like my time ain't (long), time ain't (long) time ain't (long)

Performer(s): Dorothy Collins
and multiple other artists
Seven days, seven days
And there’s not a word from you
Seven days without love
Tell me, what am I to do
Seven days I have cried
How I long to feel your touch
Why d’ya go, why d’ya stray
When I love you oh so much
The phone won’t ring at all
The clock is standing still
My tears are like the raindrops
Upon my window sill
Seven days, seven days
I have walked the floor for you
Seven days, seven days
Won’t you please say you’re still true
The phone won’t ring at all
The clock is standing still
My tears are like the raindrops
Upon my window sill
Seven days, seven days
I have been in misery
Seven days, seven days
Won’t you please come back to me
My darling, please come back to me

Look Around
Look Around
Composer(s): Alan Bergman - Marilyn Bergman - A. Mattos - Sergio Mendes
Performer(s): Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66
All the secrets of the skies in a drop of rain
Look around, look around
All the silver and surprise when you look around
just look around
All the wisdom of the sea in a grain of sand
Look around, just look around
Set the child within you free
when you look around, just look around
That cloud's a bird flying through the air
That happy leaf's going to the fair
It's all there, it's all there
All the innocence of spring in a blade of grass
Look around, just look around
Let the child within you sing when you look around
just look around
All the wisdom of the sea in a grain of sand
Look around, just look around
Set the child within you free
when you look around, just look around
That cloud's a bird flying through the air
That happy leaf's going to the fair
It's all there, it's all there
All the innocence of spring in a blade of grass
Look around, just look around
Let the child within you sing when you look around
just look around
Oh look around, just look around
stop and look around
just look around

Seven days, seven more days she'll be comin'
I'll be waiting at the station for her to arrive
Seven more days, all I gotta do is survive
She been gone ever since I been a child
Ever since I seen her smile, I ain't forgotten her eyes
She had a face that could outshine the sun in the skies
I been good, I been good while I been waitin'
Maybe guilty of hesitatin', I just been holdin' on
Seven more days, all that'll be gone
There's kissing in the valley
Thieving in the alley
Fighting every inch of the way
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day
Seven days, seven more days that are connected
Just like I expected, she'll be comin' on forth
My beautiful comrade from the north
There's kissing in the valley
Thieving in the alley
Fighting every inch of the way
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day

Che cose?
Ce nell'aria qualcosa di freddo che inverno non e
Che cose?
Questa sera i bambini per strada non giocano piu
Non so perche l'allegria degli amici di sempre non mi diverte piu
uno mi ha detto che ...
Lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei lontana, lontana da me
Per uno che torna e ti porta una rosa mille si sono scordati di te
Lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei lontana, lontana da me
Ora so
che cose questo amaro sapore che resta di te quando tu sei lontana
e non so dove sei cosa fai dove vai
E so perche non so piu immaginare il sorriso che c'e negli occhi tuoi
quando non sei con me
Lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei lontana, lontana da me
Per uno che torna e ti porta una rosa mille si sono scordati di te
Lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei, sei lontana, lontana da me ...
Sei lontano dagli occhi, lontano dal cuore e tu sei, sei lontana, lontana da me ...

Covered by multiple other artists
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Monday's calling you too early when you're sound asleep
Bells are ringing by your bedside and out in the street
Usually Monday's long enough, but this is just the start
Tuesday's just the same as Monday without the surprising part
Wednesday's point of no return
When you've squandered all you've earned
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, seven day weekend
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, seven day weekend
This is all I'm thinking about as the days go by
Spend your life on holiday and even when I die
There could be but one inscription: "This was not his day"
If it isn't Thursday anymore, it must be Friday
I can't wait until I maybe
Get off work and see my baby

Seven Day Blues
Seven Day Blues
Performer(s): Ida Cox
Every Monday mornin', people just a worryful day
Every Monday mornin', people just a worryful day
I think about my daddy, who's many miles away
Every Tuesday mornin', whiskey is all I crave
Every Tuesday mornin', whiskey is all I crave
The blues and booze are goin' to carry me to my grave
Wednesdays and Thursdays I try to wear the blues away
Wednesdays and Thursdays I try to wear the blues away
But when you get 'em about your daddy, they really come to stay
Every Friday people, is always my bad luck day
Every Friday people, is always my bad luck day
That's the day my man packed up and went away
I woke up Saturday mornin', tryin' to find my man
I woke up Saturday mornin', tryin' to find my man
I ain't got nobody to lend me a helpin' hand

Porque é? que esta lágrima corre tão fria
e o inverno já foi
Porque é? que esta noite os meninos da rua
não vejo brincar
Não sei porquê a alegria dos amigos de sempre
não me diverte mais, e um me disse assim
Distante dos olhos, aos poucos esqueçes
o amor que não morre no teu coração
Mas há quem eu mande levar-te uma rosa
pergunta se estou me esquecendo de ti
Tão longe dos olhos, tão perto de mim
não há um caminho que não leve a ti
E já sei porque sempre esse amargo soluço eu tento esconder
quando penso que talvez alguém passe, te abraçe ... te fale de amor
Também porque não consigo lembrar o sorriso que existe em teu olhar
quando não estás aqui
Distante dos olhos, aos poucos esqueçes
o amor que não morre no teu coração
Mas há quem eu mande levar-te uma rosa
pergunta se estou me esquecendo de ti
Tão longe dos olhos, tão perto de mim
não há um caminho que não leve a ti
Mas há quem eu mande levar-te uma rosa
pergunta se estou me esquecendo de ti
Tão longe dos olhos, tão perto de mim
por todo caminho eu vou te encontrar

Seven Bridges Road
Composer(s): Steve Young
First release by: Steve Young - 1969
Covered by multiple other artists
There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn form here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Seven Beers With The Wrong Kind Of Man
Seven Beers With The Wrong Kind Of Man
Performer(s): Bonnie Blue Eyes
Last night I strolled down to the tavern
To get me a glass of beer
And when I sat down at the table
A man came up and said "Dear
Come over and sit at my table
And I'll buy you beer by the can"
I made my mistake - last night when I drank
Seven beers with the wrong kind of man
This man was tall, dark and handsome
You could hang out your clothes on his line
He said he'd searched this world over
But he'd never seen beauty like mine
I fell for it hook, line and sinker
And then all the troubles began
From now on I think - I never will drink
Seven beers with the wrong kind of man
He asked me if I had a husband
I told him my name was still Miss
Was then that he leaned 'cross the table
He squeezed me and gave me a kiss
I couldn't resist his advances
The room seemed to spin 'round and then
He said "There's my wife - better run for your life
Or you'll not see daylight again"
Now I'm in the house of correction
His wife said I'd stolen her man
It's all on account of my drinkin'
Seven beers with the wrong kind of man
That big handsome brute said I "vamped" him
That I was the worst in the land
Now girls stop and think - before you go drink
Seven beers with the wrong kind of man

Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do

You said you would love me forever
And I put my faith in your vow
So why don’t you make an endeavour
To come and be with me right now
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
You phoned me to come to St. Louis
I soon got a bill for the call
But after I got to St. Louis
You left me and went to St. Paul
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
We spent every cent of my money
And then you were gone out of sight
Though I should forget you My Honey
I’m longing to kiss you tonight
Longing, longing, longing for you
Longing, longing, lonely and blue
Daytime, night time, what can I do
I just keep on longing for you
I just keep on longing for you

Christmas Eve Can Kill You
Christmas Eve Can Kill You
Composer(s): Dennis Linde
Performer(s): The Everly Brothers; Suzie Adams
The winter's flaking snow is brushing through the pinewood trees
I stuck my hands down deep inside my coat
I think of years ago and half remembered Christmas trees
And faces that still warm me with their glow
The cold and empty evening hangs around me like a ghost
I listen to my footsteps in the snow
The sound of one man walkin' through the snow can break your heart
But stopping doesn't help, so on I'll go
And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
The icy air I'm breathin' is all that keeps me on my feet
I feel like I've been walking all my life
A car goes running by, the man don't even turn his head
Guess he's busy being Santa Claus tonight
The saddest part of all is knowing if I switched with him
I'd leave him stumblin' ragged by the road
I'd ride that highway to the arms of my sweet family
And forget about the stranger in the cold
And Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
And as I walk I'm singin' to myself, Oh Silent Night
Hoping I can save those other souls
Oh, God forgive the man who drives right by the other man
Have pity on the stranger in the cold
'Cause Christmas Eve can kill you
When you're trying to hitch a ride to anywhere
