No Me Amenaces


No Me Amenaces
Composer(s): José Alfredo Jiménez
Performer(s): Raphael



No me amenaces, no me amenaces
cuando estés decidida a buscar otra vida
pues agarra tu rumbo y vete
pero no me amenaces, no me amenaces
ya estás grandecita, ya entiendes la vida
ya sabes lo que haces

Porque estás que te vas y te vas y te vas
y te vas y te vas y te vas y no te has ido
y yo estoy esperando tu amor
esperando tu amor, esperando tu amor
o esperando tu olvido

No me amenaces, no me amenaces
si ya fue tu destino olvidar mi cariño
pues agarra tu rumbo y vete
pero no me amenaces, no me amenaces
ya juega tu suerte, hay traes la baraja
yo tengo los ases

Porque estás que te vas y te vas y te vas
y te vas y te vas y te vas y no te has ido
y yo estoy esperando tu amor
esperando tu amor, esperando tu amor
o esperando tu olvido

My Dream Is Yours


My Dream Is Yours
Composer(s): Harry Warren; Ralph Blane
Performer(s): Doris Day
and multiple other artists



My dream is yours
My dream is yours alone
It's all I own
My dream is yours

I'm through with spending
Time pretending
I'm a rover
And when I dream it over
I'm in clover
And everything is fine!

My dream is yours
It isn't much to give
But while I live
My dream is yours

So darling
May I say I love you
Till the theme
Of every dream
Begins to shine
My dream is yours
Because it's yours and mine!

So darling
May I say I love you
Till the theme
Of every dream
Begins to shine
My dream is yours
Because it's yours and mine!

No Matter Who You Vote For, The Government Always Gets In


No Matter Who You Vote For, The Government Always Gets In
Composer(s): Vivian Stanshall; Neil Innes
Performer(s): Bonzo Dog (Doo Dah) Band



Bonngggg
Preside!
Hear, hear, hear!
Might I remind you...
Say it...
Order!
Might I remind you...
(Heigh ho!)
No!
Ooorderrrr!!!

Noises on the radio
Megaphones on cars
Sermons from the Street of Shame
Know-it-alls in bars
Posters in suburbia
Experts on t.v.
Don't let them disturb-i-ya
They're just the powers that be

Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Nobody can win
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the government always gets in!

Heigh ho!

riiiiinnng!!! (yaaaawn)
Oh, great, great slumbering nation cock-a-doodle-doo!
Awake! Set yourself free!
Oh, smell the comforting bacon
Taste the bromide tea
sluuuuurrrrp aahhh!
An' give a little chirrup as I ladle on the syrup
Promises are cheap
Let me bear your crosses
Make me Boss of Bosses
Then you go back to sleep! ha ha ha...

Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Pop your cross in the bin
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in!

Heigh ho!
Heigh ho!
Heigh ho!
Heigh ho!

Men have dreams of a finer place
Incorruptible Shangri-la
Women too have their Shangri-Las
Shangri-La la la!

See them in the public eye
Oozing oily charm
Hear them all personify
Down on Animal Farm oink oink moooo!!
Dog eat dog, not cock and bull
Isms are the game
Ism this and ism that
Ism it a shame?

Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Nobody can win
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in
gobble gobble gobble

Heigh ho!
Don't worry
Pop your cross in the bin
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
Don't worry
You know you can't win
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
No matter who you vote for, the Government always gets in
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
(Heigh ho!)
Pop your cross in the bin
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
(Heigh ho!)
The Government always gets in
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)
(Heigh ho!)
Pop your cross in the bin
(Heigh ho! Heigh ho!)

It Had To Be You


It Had To Be You
Composer(s): Gus Kahn; Isham Jones
First release by: Isham Jones & His Orch. - 1924
Covered by multiple other artists



Why do I do just as you say?
Why must I just give you your way?
Why do I sigh?
Why do I try to forget?

It must have been that something lovers call "Fate"
Kept on saying I had to wait
I saw them all
Just couldn't fall till we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around and finally found the somebody who
Could make me be true, could make me be blue
And even be glad just to be sad thinkin' of you

Some others I've seen might never be mean
Might never be cross or try to be boss, but they wouldn't do
For nobody else gave me a thrill
With all your faults, I love you still
It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you

No Matter What Sign You Are
Composer(s): Berry Gordy; Henry Cosby
Performer(s): The Supremes



Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo, Cancer
Pisces, Leo, Libra, Aries, Aquarius, Sagittarius

The moon shines bright above
But the charts declare
It's not my night for love
Ah, deep in my heart
I feel a good vibrations saying
"You and me, babe, would make a good combination"

There's no need in looking to the skies
Can't you see the stars shine in my eyes
I love you, boy
I really love you, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
The beat of the heart, my love
Is stronger than the charts, my love

Good vibrations
Good combination

Your water sign just lit my fire
You fill me with such desire
I love you, boy, I really love you, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Can't let astrology chart our destiny
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
I need you beside me, love
Only you can guide my love

Capricorn, Scorpio, Taurus, Gemini, Virgo
Cancer, Pisces, Leo, Libra, Aries

I don't care about your rising sign
All I know is when your lips touch mine
You move me, boy, you really move me, boy

No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are
Yes, you are
Hold me, boy
No matter what sign you are
You're gonna be mine you are

Murder, He Says


Murder, He Says
Composer(s): Jimmy McHugh; Frank Loesser
Performer(s): Betty Hutton
and multiple other artists



Finally found a fella
Almost completely divine
But his vocabulary
Is killing this romance of mine

We get into an intimate situation
And then begins this character's conversation

He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
At a time like this
He says, murder, he says
Is that the language of love?

He says, solid, he says
Takes me in his arms
And says, solid, he says
Meaning all my charms
He says, solid, he says
Is that the language of love?

He says, chick chick
You torture me
Zoom, are we livin?
I'm thinkin of leaving him flat

He says, dig dig the jumps
The old ticker is giving
He can talk plainer than that

He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
Keep it up like this
He says, murder, he says
In that impossible tone

We'll bring on nobody's murder
But his own

He says, jackson, he says
And my name's marie
He says, jackson, he says
Shoot the snoot for me
He says, jackson, he says
Is that the language of love?

He says, mmmhmm
When he likes my hat
He says, tsk tsk tsk
What the heck is that?
He says, woo hoo! he says
Is that the language of love?

He says hep hep with helium
Now babe, we're cookin
Another expression's too ill
He says, we're in the groove
And the groove is good lookin
Sounds like his uppers don't fit!

He says, murder, he says
Every time we kiss
He says, murder, he says
Keep it up like this
In that, murder, he says
In that impossible tone

We'll bring on nobody's murder
But his own

No Matter What


No Matter What
Performer(s): Badfinger



No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl
Ooh girl with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you've found girl
Ooh girl I want you
Knock down the old gray wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say Nothing to see
Nothing to do
If you would give me all I would give it to you
Nothing would be - Nothing would be
Nothing would be
No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see it in my face girl
Ooh girl I want you
Knock down the old gray wall
Be a part of it all
Nothing to say Nothing to see
Nothing to do
If you would give me all
I would give it to you
Nothing would be - Nothing would be
Nothing would be
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you've found girl
Ooh girl I want you
Do girl ooh girl I want you
Do girl ooh girl I want you

It Had Better Be Tonight


It Had Better Be Tonight
(Adapted from: Meglio Stasera - 1963)
Composer(s): Franco Migliacci; Henry Mancini; Johnny Mercer
Performer(s): Fran Jeffries - 1963
and multiple other artists



Meglio stasera, baby, go go go!
Or as we natives say, "Fa subito!"

If you're ever gonna kiss me
It had better be tonight
while the mandolins are playing
and stars are bright

If you've anything to tell me
it had better be tonight
or somebody else may tell me
and whisper the words just right

Meglio stasera, baby, go go go!
Or as we natives say, "Fa subito!"

For this poor Americano
who knows little of your speach
be a nice Italiano
and start to teach.

Show me how in old Milano
lovers hold each other tight
but I warn you sweet paisano
it had better be tonight

Meglio stasera, baby, go go go!
Or as we natives say, "Fa subito!"

No Matter How High


No Matter How High
Composer(s): Joey Scarbury; Even Stevens
Performer(s): The Oak Ridge Boys



When I was a young boy I would dream about life
And wonder just how sweet it would be
But baby I got lucky when I met you that night
Now you'll always have this promise from me
No matter how high I get
I'll always look up to you
You'll always be number one
I'll settle for number two
You've always been there for me
Baby I must confess
I'll always look up to you
No matter how high I get
Up here on this mountain it gets crazy sometimes
So crazy I don't know what to do
When I've had it up to here with all of their lies
I count on you to tell me the truth

(Repeat chorus)

You are the one that turned it around
You help me keep my feet on the ground

(Repeat chorus)

Meglio Stasera


Meglio Stasera
(English Version: It Had Better Be Tonight - 1963)
Composer(s): Henry Mancini; Franco Migliacci
First performance by: Fran Jeffries - 1963
Covered by multiple other artists



Meglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara

Non mi dire d'aspettare
Il domani che verra
E una porta che tu chiudi
Fra me e te

Se stasera ti decidi
a rispondermi di si
I domani che verrano
li dedico solo a te

Megglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sara

Nasce il giorno e il giorno muore
e la notte portera
L'incertezza del domani
chissa, chissa

Basta un desiderio solo
a non farti riposar

e una pulce sul lenzuolo
che dormire non ti fa

Meglio stasera, che domani o mai
Domani chi lo sa, quel che sarra

No Love, No Nothin'


No Love, No Nothin'
Composer(s): Leo Robin; Harry Warren
Performer(s): Ella Mae Morse;
and various other artists



No love, no nothin'
Until my baby comes home
No sir!
No nothin'
As long as baby must roam
I promised him I'd wait for him
Till even Hades froze
I'm lonesome
Heaven knows
But what I said still goes
No love, no nothin'
And that's a promise I'll keep
No fun with no one
I'm getting plenty of sleep
My heart's on strike
And tho' it's like an empty honeycomb
No love, no sir!
No nothin'
Till my baby comes home

No Love At All


No Love At All
Composer(s): Wayne Carson Thompson; Johnny Christopher
Performer(s): Lynn Anderson;
and various other artists



I see in the paper nearly everyday
people breaking up and just walking away
From love and that's wrong that's so wrong
A happy little home comes up for sale because two fools half tired and failed
To get along and you know that's wrong
A man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a man
And neither one of them won't love and understand
And take it with a grain of salt
But I believe that a little bit of love is better than no love
Even sad love's better than no love even bad love is better than no love at all
A little bit of love is better than no love
Even sad love's better than no love any kind of love is better than no love at all

No love at all is a poor old man standing on the corner with his hat in his hand
And there's no place to go and he's feeling low
No love at all is a child in the street dodging traffic and a begging to eat
On the tennament row and that's a rough row to hoe
No love at all is a troubled young girl standing on the bridge on the edge of the world
And it's a mnighty short fall
But I believe that a little bit of love...

March out with love to the beat of the drum
Give out your love got to give it to someone
Give a little kindness spread a little goodness come on people try it one time yeah
A little bit of love...
A little bit of love...

Moonlight And Magnolias


Moonlight And Magnolias
Composer(s): Peter De Rose; Dizzy Gillespie
Performer(s): Chick Webb



Moonlight and magnolias
Made a silvery scented lane
Blessed it with a love refrain
Where I strolled with you

Moonlight and magnolias
Wouldn't let us say goodbye
Till the stars way up high
Faded in the blue

Night grew a curtain around us
And the blossom would endure with a gleam
Romance and happiness found us
And carried us off in a dream

Oh, moonlight and magnolias
Made the world a paradise
when we came to realise
We were in love

No Lo Puedo Asegurar


No Lo Puedo Asegurar
Composer(s): Manuel Alejandro
Performer(s): Raphael



Yo no puedo asegurarte que por siempre te querre
Yo no puedo asegurarte que jamas te olvidare
Porque un dia sin pensarlo aparece una persona
Que me inquieta y me enamora y ya no te vuelvo a ver

Yo no puedo asegurarte que este amor no acabara
Yo ni nadie puede hacerlo, dios tan solo lo sabra
Porque somos como hojas que se mueven como el viento
Carne facil, tierra debil que se puede moldear

Y por eso no me preguntes mas si mañana sera igual
Deja el tiempo caminar como venga
Y hoy que es tan grande nuestro amor no preguntes la razon
Y haz conmigo sin temor lo que quieras

Yo no puedo asegurarte lo que un dia puede ser
Yo tan solo puedo hablarte de lo que he vivido ayer
Como quieres que te diga que este amor es para siempre
Y si luego cualquier dia tu me dejas de querer

It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)
Composer(s): Duke Ellington; Irving Mills
First release by: Duke Ellington - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists



What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' something sweet
It ain't the melody, it ain't the music
There's something else that makes the tune complete
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
It makes no diff'rence if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm ev'rything you got
It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing

No Lika Da War


No Lika Da War
Composer(s): Stanley Holloway; Nesham
Performer(s): Stanley Holloway



In Italy when Mussolini called for men
He make-a me go
To fight-a the foe

He say with a grin, you're sure to win and home again
That liar Benito, whenever we meet-o
I make-a the Blitz, they pick-a the bits
Up in the next street-o

No wanta no start-a the war
No wanta no fight-a the war
No wanta to leave my home in sunny Italy

I missa the macarone
I missa the ice cream cone
I missa my little Rosalie

No lika the barbed wire
No lika the spit-a-da-fire
No lika the great big guy from Australie
No lika the ping
No lika the boom
No lika the whoosh
No lika the clunk
Oh, take-a me back to sunny Italy

Io da laniero di qualità
Hey, who?

Says the Duce (pronounced "juice") to Mrs. Musso
You can buy another trouseau
I go to make some war among the sheik
With my trusty battagliare (battaglieri?)
And with Mary from the dairy
I'll be home again inside a couple-a-week

And the populo di Roma
They draw up a nice diploma
For to give to the Italians by-and-by
But the Abyssinian army
They drive us nearly barmy
Singing el kaladdy Haile Selassie
Coming through the rye

Says Iosta, "No surrender"
An' 'e speak-a very tender
He say "Stick it boys and then I'm sure we win"
But the British in the tanks
They attack us on the flanks
And you're a fatter man than I am, Gunga Din

They search every nook and cranny
For our Marshall, Graziani
And we have to pin a note upon the door
We wouldn't tell a fibby 'ere
You can search all over Lybia
Grazie, and 'e doesn't liby 'ere anymore

No wanta no start-a the war
No wanta no fight-a the war
No wanta to leave my home in sunny Italy

I missa the macarone
I missa the ice cream cone
I missa my little Rosalie

No lika the barbed wire
No lika the spit-a-da-fire
No lika the great big guy from Australie
No lika badia
No lika Tobruk
No lika saloon
No lika b-book
Oh, take-a me back to sunny Italy
Oh, take-a me back to sunny Italy

Viva!

Mean And Evil Blues


Mean And Evil Blues
Composer(s): Irene Higginbotham; Claude Demetrious
Performer(s): Dinah Washington (with Tab Smith & his Orch.)
and multiple other artists



Now I'm mean and evil, don't you mess around with me
Yes I'm mean and evil, don't you mess around with me
'Cause I'll mess you up with a bang, a dozen sticks of TNT!

First thing each mornin', I breaks me a lookin' glass
Then I goes out on the corner, waits for a black cat to pass
Can't sleep while there's a howlin' dog 'neath my window each night
And nothin' sends me like a good bloody fight!
Yes I'm mean and evil
But you no-good men made me that way!

Yes I'm mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me
Yes I'm so mean and evil, even rain don't fall on me
And I'm gonna stay that way till I find a man that's meaner than me!

No letter today
I have waited since dawn
I've waited each day
Since you have been gone
No letter today

I know I was wrong
Just give me one chance
Please won't you forgive
I'll love you, my dear
As long as I live
I know it's no use
Tho' I hope and I pray
The postman goes by
No letter today

It Don't Matter To Me


It Don't Matter To Me
Composer(s): Phil Collins
Performer(s): Phil Collins



Well it don't matter to me what you say, what you say
And it don't matter to me what you're doing alright, alright
Because I've heard it all so many times before
Just what you're saying and
I don't really want to hear it all no more, no more
Don't want to hear it no more
Cause there's no way that you can run
Cause I'm gonna find you
And there's nobody that you can turn to
cause I'll be behind you just to remind you
That it don't matter to me what you say, what you say
Well it didn't matter to me what you're doing alright, alright
It seems to me it's been too easy for you for too long
So you'd better climb down before you fall and hurt your pride, your pride
You're gonna hurt your pride
Cause there' nowhere that you can run to
Cause I'm gonna find you
And there's no place that you can stay
Cause I'll be behind you just to remind you
Well it don't matter to me what you do
Well it don't matter to me, I'm talking to you, talking to you
Well it don't matter to me believe me
Well it don't matter to me...
