Six Ribbons
Six Ribbons
Composer(s): Jon English
Performer(s): Jon English; Jan Carter; Wagtails
If I where a minstrel
I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share
If I where a merchant
I'd bring you six diamonds with six blood red roses for my love to wear
But I am a simple man a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
Yellow and brown, blue as the sky, red as my blood, green as your eye.
If I were a nobleman
I'd bring you six palaces with six hundred servants for comforting care
But I am a simple man a poor common farmer
So take my six ribbons to tie back your hair
If I where a minstrel
I'd sing you six love songs to tell the whole world of the love that we share
so be not afraid, my love,
You're never alone, love while you wear my ribbons tie'n back your hair
Once I was a simple man a poor common farmer I gave you six ribbons to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie
All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair
Tooralee, tooralie
All I can share is only six ribbons to tie back your hair

Look To The Rainbow
Look To The Rainbow
Composer(s): Burton Lane - E.Y. Harburg
First performance: Ella Logan - 1947
Covered by multiple other artists
On the day I was born
said my father, said he
I've an elegant legacy
waiting for ye
Tis a rhyme for your lips
and a song for your heart
To sing whenever the world falls apart
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow it over the hill and stream
Look, look, look to the rainbow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
Follow the fellow, follow the fellow
Follow the fellow who follows a dream
'Twas a sumptuous gift bequeathed to a child
Oh, the lure of that song
Kept her feet running wild
For you never grow old and you never stand still
With a whippoorwill singing beyond the next hill
So, I bundled me heart and I roamed the world free
To the east with the lark
Tow the west with the sea
And I searched all the world and I scanned all the skies
But I found it at last in my own true love's eyes

Snowdrops and daffodils
Butterflies and bees

Breezes that sigh

Dances, romances
Things of the night
Sunshine and holidays
Postcards to write
Parting trees, autumn leaves
A snowflake or two
All kinds of everything
Reminds me of you
Summer time, winter time
Spring and autumn too
Seasons will never change
The way that I love you
Dances, romances
Things of the night
Sunshine and holidays
Postcards to write
Parting trees, autumn leaves
A snowflake or two

Reminds me of you
All kinds of everything
Reminds me of you

Look Through My Window
Look Through My Window
Composer(s): John Phillips
Performer(s): The Mamas & The Papas
And the rain beats on my roof
And it does not ask for proof
It’s not that lovers are unkind
She always said there’d come a time
When one would leave and one stay behind
We both knew people sometimes change
And lovers sometimes rearrange
And nothing's quite as sure as change
And the rain beats on the roof
Look through my window to the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go
And I know I should let go
She always said "I’m not like you"
"When love is dead for me it’s through"
"And I will find and love somebody new"
Look through my window, yeah, to the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go
And I know I should let go
I must admit she knew her mind
And it will not take her long to find
Another place where the sun will shine
And the rain beats on my roof
If I still require proof
Well the rain beats on my roof (She's gone)
If I still require proof (She’s gone)
Well the rain beats on my roof (Look through my window)
If I still require proof (All the people)
Well the rain beats on my roof (I love her)
If I still require proof (She's gone)

Six O'clock
Six O'clock
Composer(s): John Sebastian
First release by: The Lovin' Spoonful - 1967
Covered by multiple other artists
There's something special 'bout six o'clock
In the morning when it's still too early to knock
And the dusky light shines down on the block
And reflects up and down on the hands of the clock
Six o'clock, six o'clock
A few hours ago she was standing here
Just watching the stars in our eyes and the lights as the tights
disappeared
And I could feel I could say what I want
That I could nudge her and call her my confidante
But now I'm all alone with just my shadow in front
At six o'clock, six o'clock
I went home and found that time to sleep was rare
Just watching my eyelids, knowing my brain bids the night not to care
I got up and got scufflin' around
But somehow it just wasn't the same happy town
And the bells didn't ring with the same happy sound
At six o'clock, six o'clock
If I go back where we parted
Could I ever feel like that again
Guess I'll just have to wait 'til tomorrow
But what can I do 'til then
Guess I'll go back home and just wait until dawn
Yes, I had to learn going back where we were wouldn't help at all
And I wish my head had been working right
We'd have gone for coffee and talked all night
And now I'm back alone, bein' twisted up tight
Six o'clock, six o'clock
Now I'm back alone
Yes, now I'm back alone
I'm back alone

Wunder Gibt Es Immer Wieder
Wunder Gibt Es Immer Wieder
Composer(s): Christian Bruhn, Günter Loose
First performance by: Katja Ebstein - 1970
Viele Menschen fragen
was ist schuld daran
warum kommt das Glück
nicht zu mir?
Fangen mit dem Leben
viel zu wenig an
Dabei steht das Glück
schon vor der Tür
Wunder gibt es immer wieder
heute oder morgen
können sie geschehn
Wunder gibt es immer wieder
wenn sie dir begegnen
mußt du sie auch sehn
Viele Menschen suchen
jeden Tag auf's neu
jemand der sein Herz
ihnen gibt
Und wenn sie schon glauben
er kommt nie vorbei
finden sie den einen
der sie liebt

Look Over Your Shoulder
Look Over Your Shoulder
Composer(s): Alan Price
Performer(s): Alan Price
When there's a bluebird singing by your window pane
And the sun shines bright all day through
Don't forget boy
Look over your shoulder
'Cause there's always someone coming after you (la la la la)
When everything in life seems just as it should be
At last success seems just around the door
Don't forget boy
Look over your shoulder
'Cause things don't stay the same forever more (la la la la)
Hope springs eternal in a young man's breast
And he dreams of a better life ahead
Without that dream you are nothing, nothing, nothing
You have to find out for yourself that dream is dead (la la la la)
Dead (la la la la)
Dead (la la la la) ...

Oh, the rain is slowly fallin'
And my heart is so sore
Six more miles and leave my darlin'

Leave the best friend I ever had
Oh, I hear the train a-comin'
Bringin' my darlin' back home
Six more miles to the graveyard
And I'll be left here all alone
Six more miles to the graveyard
Six more miles long and sad
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend I ever had

Six more miles long and sad
Six more miles and leave my darlin'
Leave the best friend I ever had

Look Out, There's A Monster Coming
Look Out, There's A Monster Coming
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall
Performer(s): The Bonzo Dog Band
Lonely, unmarried, looking for love
Life was passing me by
So I sent off my photo, hobbies and age
Magazine marriage I tried
They say for centuries lovely Japanese girls
Have been trained in the art of pleasing men
Be lonely no more, open destiny's door
For one dollar they arrange a meeting
My image was wrong, I didn't like me
So I changed my personality
I bought a delux Merseybeat wig
But it was a size too big
What confidence in my new built-up shoes
So smart for winter or summer
Undetectable in normal everyday use
Look out there's a monster coming!
Bye-bye binoculars and macintosh
Everything is just great
I take elocution, learn to speak posh
But still I can't find a mate
Be popular, learn to play the guitar
In seven days you could be strumming
Be sociable, learn kissing technique
Look out there's a monster coming!
Carnaby clothes, I reshaped my nose
Plastic surgery's best
To cut down my weight off comes my left leg
I pass a swimming costume test
Are my sideboards too long
Don't my aftershave pong?
I know my new nose ain't runnin'
What's wrong with my tie?
Am I getting too high?
Look out there's a monster coming!
Disfiguring and ugly, my facial hair
I had removed electrically
I rejuvenated my energy cells
And regained my virility (grunt grunt)
(He put my hand on my heart?)
(I am changing the part?)
He had a machine for a mummy
Please be gentle with me
I come to pieces literally
Look out there's a monster coming!
Look out there's a monster coming!
Look out there's a monster coming! ...

Marlène
Marlène
Composer(s): Henri Djian; Eddy Barclay; J. Walter
First performance by: Dominique Dussault - 1970
Une voix grave et nostalgique
Dans mon cur chante une musique, musique anachronique
Avec elle je reviens toujours
À l'époque du soixante dix-huit tours, rayé et oublié
C'était toi qui charmais, Marlène
Qui troublais, Marlène, c'était toi
Tu n'étais pas pour moi la reine des écrans, Marlène
Mais l'Ange Bleu qu'on n'oubliera jamais
De longs doigts, un fume-cigarette
Un regard qui n'en finissait pas, sait pas… sait pas, ses bas
Ses bas noirs en Cinérama
Une silhouette en sexyrama, Marlène, oui, c'est bien toi
Tu souris et je suis Marlène
Les gens crient: "Marlène!" - c'est pour moi
Je rêve d'un escalier de scène comme toi, Marlène
Que je descends langoureusement
Un mètre cinquante avec mes talons
Des cheveux frisés comme un mouton, oh… quelle désillusion
Je voulais tant lui ressembler
Vous ensorceler, vous 'Marléniser'
L'Ange Bleu… pour moi c'est raté
Sie sagte: "Die Liebe, das ist mein Leben"
"Nur auf die bin ich eingestellt"
Non, non, je ne peux pas
You take me, take me in the sky
You make me crazy in my mind
Jamais je ne pourrai
I want you, I love you, darling
I've got you
Je ne pourrai jamais, jamais chanter comme ça

Six Man Band
Composer(s): Terry Kirkman
Performer(s): The Association
Well, I'm a day at a time
I'm a day at a time
Well, I'm a seeker and knower
In a six man mind
'Cause I'm a traveling man
Yes, I'm a traveling man
Well, I'm a comer and a goer
In a six man band
Well, I'm a California man, my instrument in hand
I'm electrified
On a fast flying trip, dirty laundry in my grip
Mostly drip-dry
We got the seventeen jewels that dictate the rules
And the time to fly, as we're passing by
We just got the time to say hello, and then a fast good-bye
I'm a traveling man
Yes, I'm a traveling man
Well, I'm a comer and a goer in a six man band

The look of love is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love is saying so much more than just words could ever say
And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away

How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go You've got the
Look of love, it's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow and then seal it with a kiss
I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you
How long I have waited
Waited just to love you, now that I have found you
Don't ever go

Composer(s): Julio Iglesias
First performance by: Julio Iglesias - 1970
Covered by multiple other artists
Tan dentro de mí
conservo el calor
que me haces sentir...
Conservo tu amor
tan dentro de mí
que aún puedo vivir
muriendo de amor
muriendo de ti
Como buscan las olas
la orilla del mar
como busca un marino
su puerto y su hogar
yo he buscado en mi alma
queriéndote hallar
y tan sólo encontré
mi soledad
Y a pesar que estás lejos
tan lejos de mí...
A pesar de otros besos
quizás, Gwendolyne
aún recuerdes el tiempo
de aquel nuestro amor...
Aún te acuerdes de mí
Y aún recuerdo aquel ayer
cuando estabas junto a mí
Tú me hablabas del amor
Yo aún podía sonreír...
Aún recuerdo aquel amor...
Y ahora te alejas de mí
Le he pedido al silencio
que me hable de ti
he vagado en la noche
queriéndote oír
y al murmullo del viento
le he oído decir
tu nombre: Gwendolyne

Performer(s): Ornella Vanoni - 2002
La tua magia é qui
É in me
C'é l'ho e non va piú via
La tua magia
Sentir le cose
Che con la bocca non direi
Di porte sconosciute
Che non ho aperto mai
Di promesse e desideri
Spenti fino a ierei
di attimi ardenti
Neanche l'ho sapevo
Quanto li aspettavo
Ed é la tua
Magia che fa
Che puó
Che sá
Com'é che saró
Mi lascio andare
Son stanca di battaglie
che non ho vinto mai
andiamo dove vuoi
dove pensi che mi avrai
Sono solo tuoi bracieri solo da scaldare
Per essere ancora
Una che ci prova
Un'altra donna nuova
Lacia che sia
La tua magia per sempre mia

Six Lessons From Madame La Zonga
Six Lessons From Madame La Zonga
Composer(s): James V. Monaco; Charles Newman
Performer(s): Helen O'Connell
and multiple other artists
Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
You do the Rumba and the new La Conga
Six lessons in Madame’s cabana
And you will imagine you’re down in Havana
Her four Latin daughters will help you to start
While finding the rhythm you might lose your heart
Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
And you’ll develop your hip and your knee
And say, by the way, if you’re sure it’s okay
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free
Rosita gives you lesson one,
Chiquita gives you lesson two
Madame gives you all the rest
And her methods are the best
The Madame shows you how to walk
The Madame marks it with her chalk
When the Madame starts to squawk
That’s her Cuban double talk
Six lessons from Madame La Zonga
And you’ll develop your hip and your knee
And say, by the way, if your sure it’s OK
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free
If Madame likes you, the lessons are free!

Look at the way he looks at her
Look at the way he smiles
I remember when he was mine
I remember when things were fine
Oh, look at the way he looks at her now
Isn't that the look of love?
Look at the way he holds her hand
Look at the way they dance
I remember when he loved me
I remember how it used to be
But look at the way he smiles at her now
Isn't that the look of love?
Here I am, all by myself
Watching him with someone else
And he doesn't even know I'm here
Wish I could hold back my tears, 'cause
Look at the way he's kissing her
Look at him hold her tight
I remember his warm embrace
And the tender look on his face
Yes, look at the way he looks at her now
Isn't that the look of love?
