Reviens Vite, Mon Amour


Reviens Vite, Mon Amour
((Adapted from: Lover Please (Clyde McPhatter) - 1962))
Composer(s): Billy Swan - André Salvet
Performer(s): Richard Anthony - 1962



Reviens-moi, mon amour
Il n'est plus loin le jour du retour
Mais toi, je t'attendrai
Toute la vie s'il le fallait

Ton absence ne peut durer
Elle efface le passé
Regardons vers l'avenir
C'est lui qui doit nous sourire

Reviens-moi, mon amour
Il n'est plus loin le jour du retour
Mais toi, je t'attendrai
Toute la vie s'il le fallait

Les histoires du passé
Il faudra bien les oublier
Crois-moi, l'avenir est précieux
Il est double pour nous deux

Reviens-moi, mon amour
Il n'est plus loin le jour du retour
Mais toi, je t'attendrai
Toute la vie s'il le fallait

Je souhaite, ô mon amour
Qu'on retrouve nos beaux jours
Nous pourrons, si tu le veux
Nous pourrons être encore heureux

Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)


Lover Man (Oh, Where Can You Be?)
Composer(s): James Edward Davis - Roger J. Ramirez - James Sherman
First recording/First release by: Billie Holiday - 1944/1945
Covered by multiple other artists



I don't know why, but I'm feeling so sad
I long to try something I've never had
Never had no kissin', oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be

The night is cold and I'm so all alone
I'd give my soul just to call you my own
Got a moon above me, but there's no one to love me
Lover man, oh, where can you be

I've heard it said
That the thrill of romance can be
Like a heavenly dream
I go to bed with a prayer
That you'll make love to me
Strange as it seems

Someday we'll meet
And you'll dry all my tears
Then whisper sweet little things in my ears
Huggin' and a-kissin'
Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man oh where can you be

Oh, what I've been missin'
Lover man, oh, where can you be

Lover Boy


Lover Boy
Composer(s): Rick Davies - Roger Hodgson
Performer(s): Supertramp



I'll tell you from the start
He's gonna break your heart
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

He's gonna tell you lies
But you won't realize
Because you can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

He's got a thing in his head
It's from a book he's read
It's got a funny title,
It tells you how to be vital
He took a lot of time
Over every line
Because it's guaranteed
To satisfy

He's gonna knock 'em dead
The boy's got that book read
You can't stop the lover boy
You can't stop the lover boy

Right from the clothes he wears
The way he combs his hair
You can't stop him now, because he knows all the tricks
He used to have a problem but he got it fixed
He took a small apartment
Above a shoe department
And he could see from his window
All the lights in the street glow
There's a club on the corner
And tonight he will go there
To find a new affair
So all you ladies beware

He's got to have a good time in the city
He's got to have a good time every night
He's gonna love 'em and leave 'em, cheat and deceive 'em
He's gonna show 'em who's wrong and who's right

Lover


Lover
Composer(s): Richard Rodgers - Lorenz Hart
First performance by: Jeanette MacDonald - 1932
Covered by multiple other artists



Lover, when I'm near you
And I hear you, speak my name
Softly, in my ear you breathe a flame

Lover, when we're dancing
Keep on glancing in my eyes
Till loves own entrancing music dies

All of my future is in you
You're every plan I design
Promise you'll always continue
To be mine

Lover, please be tender
When you're tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart

Lover, it's immoral
But why quarrel with our bliss
When two lips of coral want to kiss

I say the devil is in you
And to resist you, I try
But if you didn't continue
I would die

Lover, please be tender
When you're tender, fears depart
Lover, I surrender to my heart

Lovely Weather For Ducks


Lovely Weather For Ducks
Composer(s): Jay Livingston - Ray Evans
Performer(s): Rosemary Clooney
and multiple other artists



When it’s pouring rain and people complain
And things aren’t worth the shucks
Don’t you yell, just say Well
Lovely weather for ducks

When it’s freezing snow, ‘bout zero or so
And the icy sidewalk glares
Don’t get cold feet, just repeat
Lovely weather for bears

Though all your cares seem double
There’s good in every bad
So sneer at Old Man Trouble
And he’ll go away mad

When your shoelace breaks
And your toothache aches
And you need a few more bucks
Don’t you pout, just sing out
Heavenly weather for what could be better for
Lovely weather for ducks

Though all your cares seem double
There’s good in every bad
So sneer at Old Man Trouble
And he’ll go away mad

When your shoelace breaks
And your toothache aches
And you need a few more bucks
Don’t you pout, just sing out
Heavenly weather for what could be better for
Lovely weather for ducks

Heavenly weather for what could be better for
Lovely weather for ducks

Lovely Way To Spend An Evening


Lovely Way To Spend An Evening
Composer(s): Harold Adamson - Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
and multiple other artists



Some like a night at the movies, some like a dance or a show
Some are content with an evening spent home by the radio
Some like to live for the moment, some like to just reminisce
But whenever I have an evening to spend. just give me one like this
This is a lovely way to spend an evening. can't think of anything I'd rather do
This is a lovely way to spend an evening, can't think of anyone as lovely as you
A casual stroll through a garden. a kiss by a lazy lagoon
Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you
Catching a breath of moonlight, humming our favorite tune
This is a lovely way to spend an evening
I want to save all my nights and spend them with you

Lovely To Look At


Lovely To Look At
Composer(s): Dorothy Fields - Jerome Kern - Jimmy McHugh
Performer(s): Eddy Duchin
and multiple other artists



(she)
Clothes must play a part
To light an eye, to win a heart
They say a gown can almost speak
If it is chic
Should you select the right effect
You cannot miss
You may be sure
He will tell you this

Lovely to look at
Delightful to know and heaven to kiss
A combination like this
Is quite my most impossible scheme come true
Imagine finding a dream like you!
You're lovely to look at
It's thrilling to hold you terribly tight
For we're together, the moon is new
And oh, it's lovely to look at you tonight!

(he)
What appeals to me
Is just your charm and dignity
Not what you wear
But just an air, of great repose
You are quite perfect from your head down to your toes
Both night and day
I am moved to say

Lovely to look at
Delightful to know and heaven to kiss
A combination like this
Is quite my most impossible scheme come true
Imagine finding a dream like you!
You're lovely to look at
It's thrilling to hold you terribly tight
For we're together, the moon is new
And oh, it's lovely to look at you tonight!

Little Pony


Little Pony
Composer(s): Jon Hendricks - Neal Hefti
Performer(s): The Pointer Sisters
and multiple other artists



I said hurry up, dig a little pony I know
Say that so
I said hurry up, dig a little pony, we'll blow
Ride, ride, ride

He's blowin' pretty, what a musical treat
Say that so
Look at him, blowin' steady, what a wonderful beat
Ride, ride, ride

Hurry up, hurry up
Do me the ditty up
Hurry up, hurry up
Go wake the city up
Hurry up, hurry up
Once more I wanna repeat

People pass word
He's the last word
That's the mass word
They don't dig 'til he's big, then they wig

Wanna say a lot about a little pony
Wanna celebrate the night the pony booted up the big beat
And by the time he got to cookin' everybody started lookin'

Well I can't stop telling about what he was doin'
To blow as though his heart was in it every minute
Singin' a pretty kind of sound, really givin' every pound
Neve acting like the greatest cat around

Every body dug him and he had 'em really drinking
Like the did a lot of swiggin' from a gallon jug
And then he cooled a while, sentimental style

Later on a little while he had 'em swinging, stompin' the floor
Little pony went a ridin', illustratin' what a horn was for
Had 'em comin' back for more, when they added up the score
It was joy galore!

Been down east, did up the west
Come to find, this little pony's the best
Blow your horn, do up the sound Sing your song, you're really
puttin' it down

Well, a little bit of listenin' with a passable ear
We'll get an awful lot of messages anywhere

Ride, pony ride, Be my wailing guide
Keep on singin', I dig, you're bringin' the word
Go pony, go, put me in the know
Dig me wiggin', that way, you're diggin' I heard

If anybody ever made it out to the coast
They can tell ya what I'm talkin' about
Little pony wailin' on the alto saxophone
Holler giddyup and gallop

Ball, pony, ball, don't be slow at all
Don't bashful, be like you're blowing for me

Gotta get along speedily
Got to get along, and do the coda
It's really the end, you see
Well thanks a lot, but pretty baby I must quit this scene
If you know what I mean

Don't be quittin', just when you're hittin' the peak
Get a record that'll play all week
Could be good bebop, could be!

His eyes kissed mine
I saw the love in them shine
A rainbow brightened my window
Such love divine

And now he's gone
Like a dream that melts with the dawn
His memory stays locked in my heartstrings
He was ne'er mine

Little Queen


Little Queen
Composer(s): Ann Wilson - Howard Leese - Michael DeRosier - Nancy Wilson - Roger Fisher -Steve Fossen
Performer(s): Heart



You'd rather have wine than gin
Only the finest by your skin
Always running after Time - catching
You're fancy with rhyme
Shining on the front page again

Hot on the presses today - little queen
Making your passion play - little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind
Little queen

Away from the sellers, the papers said
Your crown was tight and heavy on your head
Still you danced and you sang - all night
The telephone rang
Music kept on playing from your pen

Hot on the presses today - little queen
Making your passion play - little queen
Nobody knows your melancholy mind
Little queen

Raining Raining- he knows your Soul ain't free
Raining Raining- he feels you little queen

Slipping away with your gypsy band
Hot on your music and playing a winning hand
He was standing in the line, thinking how you
Moved his mind
Feeling like he held you in his hand

When you're starting to fall
You got something to lean on

Love is all, I say love is all, yes love is all

Toutes Les Mêmes


Toutes Les Mêmes
((Adapted from: Love Is All (by Roger Glover) - 1974))
Composer(s): Roger Glover - Eddie Hardin - Vline Buggy - Claude Carrère
Performer(s): Sacha Distel - 1976



Plus légères et frêles que les gazelles
Plus gracieuses qu'un vol de papillon
Elles font le beau temps comme les coccinelles
Et roucoulent comme les pigeons
Elles sont bavardes et belles comme les perruches
Prévoyantes aussi comme les fourmis
Nous laissent tomber comme des ours en peluche
Pour suivre un bel oiseau de nuit

Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes
Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer
Toutes les mêmes oui mais on les aime et rien ne peut les remplacer

Pour elles nous sommes toujours des phénomènes
Plus maladroits que des éléphants
Dans un magasin de porcelaine, quand on les trompe en passant

Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes
Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer
Toutes les mêmes oui mais on les aime et rien ne peut les remplacer

Plus bohèmes encore que les cigales, elles adorent danser la nuit
Mais ces petites chattes ont pour elle une morale
Trouver le matou de leur vie

Toutes les mêmes, toutes les mêmes
Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer
Toutes les mêmes, elles sont toutes les mêmes
Et pourtant on ne peut pas s'en passer

Little Queenie
((Dutch Version: Kleine Dinie (by Normaal) - 1982))
Composer(s): Chuck Berry
First release by: Chuck Berry - 1959
Covered by multiple other artists



I got lumps in my throat
When I saw her comin' down the aisle
I got the wiggles in my knees
When she looked at me and sweetly smiled

There she is again
Standin' over by the record machine
Lookin' like a model
On the cover of a magazine
She's too cute
To be a minute over seventeen

Meanwhile I's thinkin'...

She's in the mood
No need'n break it
I got a chance
I oughta take it
If she'll dance
We can make it
C'mon Queenie,
Let's shake it

Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie

Tell me who's the queen
Standin' over by the record machine
Lookin' like a model
On the cover of a magazine
She's too cute
To be a minute over seventeen

Meanwhile, I was still thinkin'...

If it's a slow song
We'll omit it
If it's a rocker, that'll get it
And if it's good, she'll admit it
C'mon queenie, let's get with it

Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie
Go, go, go, Little Queenie

Let's get it

Get with it ...

Love Is All
Composer(s): Barry Mason - Les Reed
Performer(s): Malcolm Roberts



Yesterday, I knew the games to play
I thought I knew the way life was meant to be
But now there's you
My foolish games are through
Now at last I have found
Just what makes this old world turn around

Love is all I have to give
Love is all as long as I shall live
Take it all
And I'll always be there when you call my name
I know now that love is all

Every night I long to hold you tight
Until the morning light
Shines into your eyes, love me now
We'll get along somehow
Won't you please take my hand
And together forever we'll stand

Love is all I have to give
Love is all as long as I shall live
Take it all
And I'll always be there when you call my name
I know now that love is all

Love Is All
Composer(s): Harry Tobias - Pinky Tomlin
Performer(s): Deanna Durbin



Love is all, love is all
It’s the call of each heart
And a part of each dream
In this world, dear
Love is all to desire
To enthral and admire
Who inspired every soul
Love is all

Winter comes with its storms
And its cares of the day
Then the spring brings the sun
Just to melt them away

Love is all, love is all
On this earth to unfurl
For each boy and each girl
Love is all

Winter comes with its song
And its cares of the day
Then the spring brings the sun
Just to melt them away

Love is all, love is all
On this earth to unfurl
For each boy and each girl
Love is all

The Little Red Caboose Behind The Train


The Little Red Caboose Behind The Train
Performer(s): Paul Warmack & His Gully Jumpers



I am growing old and weary
And my sight is getting dim
I have laid my links and pins away to rust
And the only friend that's left to me
In this wide world to stand
Is the Little Red Caboose Behind The Train

Oh, I'm growing old and feeble now
And my sight is getting dim
And I cannot see those signals anymore
I can hear those whistles blowing
And I know I'll soon be going
To a better home I know that's far away

There are young ones coming on
It is time for me to go
They'll be pestered with the rain, the sleet and snow
And they'll find a heap of trouble
When those hills they have to double
With the Little Red Caboose Behind The Train
